Episode 22 - The North Wales Medical School: Collaboration and Inclusive Values in Medical Education with Dr Nia Jones
We are delighted to be joined today by special guest, Dr Nia Jones – Programme Lead for the new North Wales Medical School, part of Bangor University. The school is a collaborative endeavour involving the Welsh Government, universities, healthcare providers, primary care, patients, and the public and aims to address the unique needs of North Wales, including mountain medicine, and health within rural and coastal communities. Lorelei and Nia also discuss the importance of collaboration, systems leadership, and inclusive values in medical education and healthcare delivery.
Nia highlights the school's focus on providing education through the Welsh
language, addressing the needs of rural and coastal communities, and building
partnerships with various stakeholders. Nia emphasises the significance of communication, shared goals, and role modelling to create a supportive learning environment that prepares future doctors/healthcare leaders to deliver culturally sensitive and patient-centred care.
