When Warwick was founded in 1965, the establishment of a new medical school as part of its whole was already a key priority – and indeed its establishment became a challenge for the next 30 years. Warwick’s founders were deeply committed to both the academic excellence and the regional, and societal, impacts that having such a department would provide, both through education and the advancement of medical science research. Our challenge now is to build on the things we have achieved to date, and to do so with authenticity to the Warwick brand.

We are small, we are young and we have modest means, but we are already a leading medical school in the UK, reputed for the high quality and distinctiveness of our doctors and for the excellence and global impact of our research. We play an active part in transforming the regional health economy and health eco-system and have developed successful and transformative partnerships with health care providers and local authorities.
