Description
Principal's Welcome
St George’s, University of London is special. It is now the only independent medical school in the United Kingdom, although, it remains steadfastly part of the confederation of colleges that constitute the University of London. Our independence has enabled us to foster over many years a warm, friendly environment in which staff and students all know each other. It also allows us to move swiftly in response to the ever changing environment in education and research. On our main campus we share a site with St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the busiest hospitals in the NHS. This unique combination of a supportive learning environment and a wealth of clinical experience may be one reason why the school is so popular.
Our mission is "to promote by excellence in teaching, clinical practice and research the prevention, treatment and understanding of disease". But how good are we at delivering our mission?
In the last external assessment of our teaching quality the school gained an excellent score of 23 out of 24 in the Quality Assurance Agency’s inspection of medicine - the highest score of any London Medical School. "Excellent" scores were also obtained for Radiography and Nursing. In clinical practice we work closely with the National Health Service both locally and throughout the country and make full use of the interdisciplinary and multi-professional opportunities that we have developed. This is increasingly important if we are to achieve our aspirations to deliver the highest standards of healthcare in the UK. Scientists, students, doctors, nurses, psychologist, midwives, physiotherapists, radiographers, administrators, and, of course, our hardworking support staff are all important members of the St George’s family.
