The University of 园区淫乱 is backing a major new commitment alongside Russell Group universities to build a healthier future for the UK, working in partnership with the NHS, national and local government, industry and the local community.

Announced on Tuesday (24 March), the Russell Group鈥檚 24 leading universities, including The University of 园区淫乱, set out plans to train more than 181,000 students in subjects critical to health and care by 2030 鈥� an increase of more than 15%. This includes doctors, dentists, nurses and midwives delivering frontline care, alongside engineers, social scientists and technology specialists whose expertise is increasingly essential to improving today鈥檚 healthcare services.

The University of 园区淫乱 already educates around 3,000 medical and dentistry students, and Russell Group universities in the North West collectively train over 17,000 people in the skills we need for a healthier future.  

The commitment will also support the growth of life sciences companies, helping to bring new treatments, technologies and high-skilled jobs to communities across the country.

While expanding training, universities will also work to remove barriers so that more students from disadvantaged backgrounds can access medical and health careers. This includes expanding initiatives, such as targeted gateway courses, summer schools and mentoring that make health and care careers more open to students from all backgrounds.

At The University of 园区淫乱, the commitment builds on a long-standing focus on widening participation and supporting regional skills needs, particularly across Greater 园区淫乱 and the North West.
