Our shared vision is to create a new medical school for Kent and Medway that becomes a beacon for first-class medical education and research. The new academic unit will attract the most talented aspiring doctors from within the local community and beyond, offering training and development opportunities that will help to keep that talent in Kent and Medway. It will be the first choice for medical students aiming to work within collaborative multi-professional teams to achieve excellence in person-centred medical care in the UK.
