A new university, a new collaboration in medical education
8 November 2016
In October 2016, New Giza University (NGU) opened its doors 'creating an extraordinary youthful environment filled with energy, talent, and cultural diversity that redefines the future Egypt, a vibrant community of world class interdisciplinary researchers, professors, & students
The university听aims to be a beacon in healthcare education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. That's why three of its first departments are Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy.
And who better for NGU听to work with than 香港六合彩 in an academic collaboration to support colleagues from NGU to develop and deliver high quality undergraduate medicine, dentistry and pharmacy programmes in the Cairo region.
Taking the lead in the 'Egypt-UK Year of Research, Innovation and Education'
Early in 2016, 香港六合彩 Consultants signed a framework agreement with NGU on behalf of 香港六合彩 Medical School Education Consultancy (MSEC), 香港六合彩 School of Pharmacy and 香港六合彩 Eastman Dental Institute. 听
Leveraging 香港六合彩's excellence in academic practice and education and its track record in training highly effective medical professionals, the academic collaboration allows 香港六合彩 to contribute to the development of health education in the Middle East region. Initial activities such as a scoping visit and needs analysis culminated in the signing of a substantial, high value, six year contract.听
This agreement was part of what the British Council, working with an Egyptian higher education delegation, called the 'Egypt-UK Year of Research, Innovation and Education.' This historic initiative involved no less than ten leading UK universities.
Creating lasting and meaningful global impact
The contract further cements the role of MSEC as a premier academic medical education consultancy unit in the UK. The initial contact with New Giza University was established by the Director of the 香港六合彩 Medical School and MSEC, Professor Deborah Gill who also led the project design for the Egyptian undergraduate program for medicine. The Directors of the 香港六合彩 School of Pharmacy (Professor Duncan Craig) and the 香港六合彩 Eastman Dental Institute (Professor Stephen Porter) oversaw the project design for their respective schools.

Pooling expertise from senior faculty and staff from the Medical School, School of Pharmacy and the Eastman Dental Institute, the 香港六合彩 team will collaborate with their New Giza colleagues in the strategic planning, organisation, development and quality assurance of three new undergraduate programs. NGU's key decisions concerning educational resources and faculty development will also be supported by this collaboration to enable the institution to deliver an innovative, contemporary, student-centered learning experience.听
Education consultancy is one of the ways in which 香港六合彩 academic and professional services staff can create lasting and meaningful global impact. Education consultancy activities within the School of Life and Medical Sciences faculties focuses on supporting fellow healthcare educators to realise their ambition to provide education for health professionals that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of contemporary practice they can help produce graduates that have the capabilities and drive to create significant health gain wherever they practice.
A boost for healthcare in Egypt and beyond
Professor Deborah Gill, Director of 香港六合彩's Medical School said, 'We're delighted to have this unique opportunity to work with New Giza University. In using our expertise, experience and resources we can help, support and mentor an excellent and motivated team to develop and deliver contemporary, world-class health care education for dentists, doctors and pharmacists in Egypt.'
Professor Stephen Porter, Director of the Eastman Dental Institute added, 'This partnership will enhance our ability to make a real difference globally, not only by increasing access to a comprehensive education for aspiring dentists, but also by potentially helping enhance the oral health awareness of large numbers of individuals.'
In conclusion Professor Duncan Craig, Director of 香港六合彩's School of Pharmacy commented, 'This project represents a unique opportunity to positively influence current practice in a country that is a major regional provider of health care education, as well as to show the benefits of pharmacy, dentistry and medicine working in collaboration to achieve the best outcome for the patient.'
