How we're doing it

Our mission is to ensure that the research we do improves health, advances knowledge, reduces inequities and builds strong community bonds to respond to local and global challenges. We believe ground-breaking discoveries can only happen in a collaborative and inclusive research environment.

Hull York Medical School was founded on partnership, and a desire to make a real difference to our community. Our unique partnership with the University of Hull and the University of York brings together our experts across a range of disciplines, and offers a collaborative environment which drives discovery and innovation.

And our partnerships with our regional NHS Trusts and community health organisations offer a wide clinical base within with to study the conditions which most affect our communities. By working with patients, we can ensure we improve their health, while developing research that can be applied nationally and globally.
