Two Lancashire acute trusts are partnering with the University of Central Lancashire to support a new self-funded undergraduate medical degree programme.

East Lancashire Hospitals Trust will provide the majority of clinical placements for the new course, with the remainder supplied by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust.

Jim Gardner, medical director of the Lancashire area team, said the new medical school was important for the local health economy and would “drive innovation, investment and quality improvement in health care across the county”.
