Clinical and research programmes
Overview
At Kent, we deliver research and teaching in a range of areas of medicine and health care. We favour a multidisciplinary approach and have strong links with social sciences and with basic sciences within the University.
Kent has established itself as a leading institution for education, training, research and development in the following areas: clinical education; supportive and palliative care; reproductive biology; pharmacy and dental education and oral health. Our health related activities are co-ordinated through KentHealth who are able to advise health practitioners on suitable courses or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and can assist in the design of tailored courses for health commissioners. We have collaborative training partnerships with a number of health service providers, such as the KSS Deanery and the Kent Community Health NHS Trust.
Our programmes in these areas are offered by the Centre for Health Services Studies, Centre for Professional Practice, Medway School of Pharmacy,Kent Law School and the School of Biosciences.
KentHealth is planning to offer several new programmes (subject to approval) from 2012 such as the Pcert, PDip and MSc in Medical Education and Strategic Leadership and MSc in Minimally Invasive Surgery. For further information or to register interest, please visit our website.

Key information
Professional links
Many of the staff within the academic divisions have a clinical commitment to the NHS or industry.
Likewise, our honorary staff have a commitment to NHS posts, but additionally provide a valuable contribution to the University's programmes.
Flexible programmes
Our courses take account of the working circumstances of healthcare staff, the diverse circumstances of patients and the obstacles professionals may face in taking up learning opportunities. We offer programmes by teaching or research pathways for both medical and non-medical students on a full or part-time basis.
Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses are flexible, with different stepping-on and stepping-off points, so that you can either take single modules for CPD or work towards a postgraduate certificate, diploma or Master's degree.
