Could you help train the healthcare professionals of the future?

Newcastle University School of Medicine trains a range of students who will work within our NHS. Our students will become doctors, physician associates and clinical scientists.

The Patients as Partners in Healthcare Education service aims to involve patients and volunteers from across our region. Working with patients and volunteers is a hugely valuable part of our student’s training that helps them to develop excellent communication and examination skills as well as developing their bedside manner.

They want to hear from people with lived experience of healthcare or interested volunteers who feel they could support our student’s to develop these important skills.
