The Ron Grimley Undergraduate Centre is a clinical teaching academy based at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley.

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.

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