MP applauds campus health developments at 海角直播

Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald says he was 鈥渂lown away鈥� by 海角直播鈥檚 facilities and potential, during a recent visit to the campus.

The MP met with senior colleagues at 海角直播 and was shown around the School of Health & Life Sciences. He was also given an update on BIOS, the new 拢36.9m facility which is nearing completion. BIOS will offer high-quality, leading-edge laboratories for sciences and clinical subjects including anatomy, pharmacy, microbiology, chemistry, earth sciences and food science students.

Mr McDonald, who also visited the University鈥檚 dental hygiene and therapy service, said he was 鈥渂lown away鈥� by the University鈥檚 鈥済ame-changing鈥� plans and development.

He said: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 any exaggeration to say what is going on at 海角直播, in the School of Health & Life Sciences, could be a game changer for both people in Middlesbrough and our National Health Service.

鈥淭hat such a staggering number of people 鈥� and most of them local 鈥� are currently being educated in such critically important healthcare disciplines here on 海角直播 is fantastic.

鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing to think that with the work of the University and the forward-thinking partnerships in place that Middlesbrough and its people can be central to a fit for the future NHS.

鈥淭he ambition of the University is both inspirational and phenomenal, and the game-changing proposal to develop a medical offer at 海角直播 is tremendously exciting. I鈥檓 blown away.鈥�

Mr McDonald was also impressed by the free dental hygiene and therapy service offer, which extends to a variety of treatments available to people across 海角直播 as well as staff and fellow students at the University, with the facility approved by the Care Quality Commission.

Professor Tim Thompson, Dean of the School of Health & Life Sciences, explained to the MP during the visit how the University works closely with local NHS Trusts and the Integrated Care Board to identify and support future workforce demands.

Professor Thompson said: 鈥淲e always strive to meet the demands of regional and national employers. BIOS will help us to provide more modern, flexible and digitally-enabled learning spaces to help train the next generation of health professionals and provide a compassionate, forward-thinking and inclusive learning environment. It will also allow us to bring together delivery of health and human sciences subjects, providing a holistic view of the healthcare-bioscience ecosystem.鈥�

The School of Health & Life Sciences has around 10,000 students on undergraduate, post graduate, continuing professional development courses and degree apprenticeships 鈥� with around 80 percent of those students coming from 海角直播.
