The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine

Great to share the mission of the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine at our Westminster reception this week. PCSM is training the next generation of doctors in Cumbria, with a focus on widening participation and community need. Learn more: cumbriamed.ac.uk

As part of their curriculum, our students spent time at Imperial College London, Charing Cross Hospital and Gordon's Museum of Pathology as part of their London Field Week. They took part in sessions on anatomy, brain pathology, historical medical imagery and social events.

We welcomed Julie Minns, Labour MP for Carlisle, to our campus this week. She met with our students and heard about their progress. We also discussed healthcare in Cumbria and impact of PCSM in the region.
