St Georges University of London
St Georges University of London - London, England
Overview
St George’s
is justifiably proud of its distinctiveness as a health sciences university. It
is a university that has its own identity through being co-located with its
university hospital in South West London. St
George’s provides a working and learning environment
that enables students and staff to work closely together, creating a uniquely
convivial and supportive environment. We provide programmes in medicine,
biomedical sciences, and health sciences. We are proud to teach midwifery,
radiography, physiotherapy, paramedic, social work and nursing students in
conjunction with Kingston
University in our joint
Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences. This fostering of interdisciplinary
learning for students entering the different professions supports the
inter-professional teamwork necessary for good patient care. Students benefit
from our reputation within the NHS for training excellent future healthcare
professionals.
We share our campus with St George’s
Hospital and are
neighbours with the South West London Mental Health Trust. These two NHS Trusts
comprise the hub of an extensive network of acute hospital trusts, primary care
trusts and social services that constitute what is referred to as the South
West London Academic Health Sciences Network. This special combination of
supportive learning environments with a wealth of local clinical experience
contributes to the distinctiveness of St
George’s.
St George’s is
proud of its historic roots and a tradition of innovation in research and
education throughout its 250-year history: from John Hunter and Edward Jenner
to modern-day internationally recognised scientists at the forefront of
treating infectious diseases, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Clinical
scientists work closely with biological scientists to better understand the
biological and genetic mechanisms that lead to illness, and the most effective
methods for preventing disease. We are proud of how this knowledge is
translated into the care of people living in South West London and beyond.
