The privilege of practising medicine is the trust afforded to us by patients at times of their greatest vulnerability; the skill is being able to apply knowledge so those patients receive the best treatment and care available.

Professor Una Macleod

“I studied medicine in the 1980s, and my career has taken me from a hospital environment into clinical and academic general practice, via leading research teams seeking to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment and care. It is now my privilege to be Dean of Hull York Medical School, with responsibility for ensuring that you are equipped with the skills needed to pursue your own successful career path. Whether your ambition is to become a surgeon, a psychiatrist, a general practitioner or a paediatrician, your experience at Hull York Medical School will stand you in good stead for a long and impactful career delivering exceptional care.

“I look forward to welcoming you on the first step of your career path as a doctor."
