Head of MBChB

Do you have the skills and creativity to lead our MBChB programme as we strive to continually evolve to deliver an outstanding experience for our students, and train the future workforce?   

As Head of MBChB, you will be responsible for the management, delivery and quality assurance of the Medicine and Surgery MBChB programme, a flagship undergraduate programme for the University of Leeds. You will ensure that the content, learning objectives, delivery and assessment of the MBChB programme are kept under review, in accordance with the recommendations of the General Medical Council`s (GMC) outcomes framework.

You will play a key strategic and oversight role in the development, promotion, and delivery of the MBChB programme. Working proactively across the School of Medicine, Faculty and University structures as well as the NHS and our other clinical partners, you will identify and develop opportunities for programme improvement. This will include whole-scale curriculum review, with lead responsibility for promoting and monitoring teaching quality assurance, including the student experience, across the MBChB programme.  You will be supported in these activities by the MBChB Deputy Programme Lead.
