Posted on 18 January 2013
A delegation from the University of York and Hull York Medical School is visiting India and Sri Lanka to promote new health-focused and academic links with the two countries.
The visit includes the first formal event of the University’s 50th Anniversary celebrations - a special reception for York alumni at the residence of Ian Felton UK Deputy High Commissioner in Bangalore, attended by the UK Minister for Public Health, Anna Soubry.
The eight-strong delegation, led by the Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Cantor, includes representatives of the Hull York Medical School and the University’s Departments of Health Sciences, Management, Biology, Chemistry and Electronics. It is focusing principally on building links with medical and nursing schools with a view to establishing formal partnerships on curriculum development and elective modules for medical students as well as joint work in diabetes nursing care.
