REGENERATIVE
MEDICINE THAT
HAS BEEN AWARDED
£3.5 MILLION
KEELE’S LAW SCHOOL
THAT ENABLES
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
TO ASSIST LITIGANTS
Keele is one of three
partners in the Centre for
Doctoral Training (CDT)
in Regenerative Medicine
that has been awarded
£3.5 million from the
Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council
and the Medical Research
Council to further its
research programmes in
this globally important
and fast-growing field of
the healthcare industry.
Regenerative Medicine
has huge potential to
revolutionise the sector
and transform patients’
lives. It covers a wide
range of therapies
designed to enable
damaged, diseased or
defective skin, bone and
other tissue, and even
perhaps organs, to work
normally again.
One year on from the
Legal Aid Sentencing and
Punishment of Offenders
Act, Tristram Hunt MP
visits a pioneering scheme
at Keele’s Law School
that enables university
students to assist litigants.
The Community Legal
Companion (CLC) scheme
– part of the Community
Legal Outreach
Collaboration Keele
project, CLOCK – involves
training second and third
year law students to act
as intermediaries to assist
access to legal services
and provide practical
assistance to litigants
in person.
