Sharing the journey to setting up a collaborative space open to all staff and students on Gibbet Hill Campus.

The Gibbet Hill CoLab of Curiosity is a collaborative, inclusive space dedicated to advancing the full spectrum of medical and life sciences education. We aim to empower learners, educators, researchers and innovators to explore beyond traditional boundaries—integrating our passion for learning and discovery with personal and professional growth. Through creative collaboration, experiential learning, and community engagement—including extracurricular initiatives and volunteering—we foster a culture of curiosity, compassion, and co-creation. Our mission is to go Beyond Blended—to stay curious, educate holistically, and collaborate meaningfully.
