Overview
Bart's Health comprises of Whipps Cross University Hospital, Newham Hospital, Mile End Hospital, St Bartholomew's Hospital and The Royal London.

We take medical students from Queen Mary University, as well as overseas students. Teaching methods include problem-based learning, lectures, teaching clinics, part task training, full immersion simulation training and bedside teaching.
