Professor Mary Morrell, Head of School at The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine

I'm absolutely delighted that the Barrow campus is opening, particularly because our students are placed throughout healthcare providers in both the North and the South of the county, and in the South they'll be strategically placed within the Furness General Hospital. So by having the hub in Barrow, that means that it will provide a focus for our students learning right from when they start. They start their placements at 18 months and all the way through year three and four. It will provide opportunities for them to blend their learning with their placement based experience. So thanks very much for opening the campus, I cannot wait until we get our students there.
