"The teaching fellows, the doctors and the undergraduate staff made the experience flow very smoothly and made learning really enjoyable!"

Fourth Year Medical Student
We first opened our doors to medical students in 2005. Since then we have continued to develop a framework to deliver a high standard of medical education. Our superb learning facilities in a modern, purpose-built education centre offers students both formal and informal learning opportunities.
The centre is named in honour of the late Ron Grimley as a tribute to his work and commitment to medical education.
We normally host around 150 medical students at any one time. The majority of these are clinical placements in third, fourth and fifth year. We also support second year students on their Hospital Preparation course and Physician Associate students.
Our tri-annual newsletter keeps medical students and Undergraduate Teaching Academy faculty informed about upcoming events, learning opportunities, current projects, and useful resources that support medical education. Each edition is designed to enhance learning and highlight key developments across our teaching community.
The latest edition of the RGUC Newsletter for September is out now.
