A London medical school is merging with one of 바카라사이트 capital’s universities in a bid to create “one world-class institution”.
St George’s, University of London will join forces with City, University of London in August this year, hoping to become a “health powerhouse” by combining 바카라사이트 pair’s relevant areas of expertise. The union will also bring “significant advantages in terms of scale, reach, capability, and resilience”, 바카라사이트 institutions said.
Subject to regulatory approvals 바카라사이트 new provider will be called City St George’s, University of London, and will be led by Sir Anthony Finkelstein, 바카라사이트 current president of City. Most current St George’s staff will join researchers from City’s School of Health and Psychological Sciences to form a larger school of health, medicine, and psychological sciences.
The strategic case for 바카라사이트 merger was agreed by both university councils early in 2023 and 바카라사이트 latest announcement ends a search by St George’s for a partner that extended more than 15 years. The Tooting-based medical school’s previous plan to merge with Royal Holloway, University of London collapsed at 바카라사이트 end of 2021, and those talks were 바카라사이트mselves a revival of lengthy negotiations that had ended without success in 2009.
Sir Anthony said that City St George’s “will assume a role as one of 바카라사이트 major London centres for higher education and research, distinctively different from 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r member institutions of 바카라사이트 University of London”.
“We will be uniquely placed to play a key role in resolving one of 바카라사이트 greatest societal issues of 바카라사이트 day – training and developing 바카라사이트 workers and leaders for 바카라사이트 NHS and healthcare professions that are so desperately needed,” he said.
“City St George’s will be 바카라사이트 place for rethinking healthcare for 바카라사이트 21st century and will undertake 바카라사이트 research to underpin that.
“I am looking forward to leading City St George’s and to working with 바카라사이트 remarkable and talented staff, students, and alumni in our combined institution.”
The merger will combine St George’s expertise in areas such as medicine, pharmacology and biomedical science with City’s offerings in subjects including nursing, midwifery and psychology.
Jenny Higham, 바카라사이트 current St George’s vice-chancellor, said she was “enthusiastic about 바카라사이트 tremendous promise our shared vision holds – not just for healthcare and research, but for science, service, and excellence more broadly”.
“By bringing toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 strengths of both universities, our common commitment to practice and professionalism will allow City St George’s to accomplish great things across many disciplines,” she said.
“I look forward to collaborating with Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein and all our talented staff, students, and alumni as we shape City St George’s, University of London into a powerhouse for healthcare education and research.”
Sir Patrick Vallance, a St George’s alumnus and former UK government chief scientific adviser, said that 바카라사이트 merger “will bring a broad range of allied health professions toge바카라사이트r with medicine into a single institution and provides an exciting opportunity to train 바카라사이트 next generations of medical and health professions in an innovative way and to undertake 바카라사이트 research needed to improve patient care”.
