Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
The Faculty has expanded the
programme portfolio range
considerably over the last fifteen
years. Throughout this period of
growth we have remained firmly
focused on the quality of the
educational experience and
developing effective close
partnerships with local acute
and community-based NHS Trust
organisations, who host our varied
range of clinical placements.
Our Schools are focused on
developing excellent clinicians
whether they be doctors, midwives,
nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists
or radiographers. Research has
also enjoyed significant success,
with Keele now seen as a major
international centre for clinical
and translational studies into
musculoskeletal disorders.
The Faculty of Medicine and Health
Sciences has first rate Schools of
Medicine; Health & Rehabilitation;
Nursing & Midwifery and Pharmacy
so is able to offer a full range of
clinical professional programmes
normally only found in much larger
universities. We are fortunate in
having relatively small cohorts
allowing Schools to focus on high
quality education and training
allied to a sector-leading student
experience.
Programmes are underpinned
by research-led, evidence-based
teaching and delivered by dedicated
staff working in modern, purpose
built facilities. The quality of training
is reflected in feedback from the
professional bodies responsible
for validating degree courses and
in the consistent top-ten rankings
enjoyed by all four Schools in
disciplinary league tables and the
National Student Survey.
Schools based within this Faculty are:
• School of Health and Rehabilitation
• School of Medicine
• School of Nursing and Midwifery
