Proposed new medical schools in Wales

North Wales Medical School

Jo Whitehead, CEO of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has stated that a new Medical and Health Sciences School in North Wales could be achieved by 2025.

Then Welsh Health Minister Vaughan Gething has stated that he wants a task and finish group to assess whether a North Wales medical School is “practical and achievable”.

A task and finish group chaired by Professor Elizabeth Treasure, has been looking at the idea since autumn 2020.[5]
