Will the Minister provide an update on the North Wales Medical School?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 28/11/2023

The North Wales Medical School is progressing well with students due to commence their studies next September. The GMC are satisfied with progress following their Stage 5 quality assurance visit in July of this year, allowing the school to proceed with student recruitment, with student interviews scheduled for December and January. The school are now at Stage 6 of the 8-stage accreditation process for new medical programmes, with Cardiff University remaining as a contingent partner.

New academic and professional staff have been recruited and are busy preparing for the new students next Autumn.
