    Five new medical schools will launch across in England in September as part of the government's 'biggest ever expansion' of the NHS medical workforce, the Department of Health and Social Care's announced.

    And on will be right here in Ormskirk with Edge Hill chosen as one of the new sites alongside those in Sunderland, Canterbury, Lincoln and Chelmsford.

    It prompted this response from MP Rosie Coop-er who has welcomed the University's successful bid to the General Medical Council (GMC) for recognition of its plans.

    Cooper fully endorsed the application by lobbying for and writing in support back in November at the time of submission.

    She told QLocal yesterday afternoon: "I am delighted that EHU's success is being recognised by the General Medical Council and will now open a Medical School here in West Lancashire.

    “Having supported the bid, I believe it will help to address local healthcare challenges and workforce shortages in the health sector.

    “The provision of medical education in West Lancashire will allow local young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and underrepresented groups, to study medicine which will benefit our local hospitals.

    “Edge Hill University already has an excellent track record in delivering healthcare education and I fully support their plans to expand in this area and their commitment to making a positive contribution in meeting the health needs of local communities.”

    Edge Hill was ‘chosen as part of a rigorous bidding process to help place more medical students in areas which traditionally struggle to attract doctors, particularly rural and coastal areas,’ the DHSC said.

    The DHSC said that by 2020 there will be an extra 1,500 doctors in training. Some 630 of these places will be available from September, taking the total number of medical students for 2018/19 to 6,701, which the DHSC said was the highest on record.

    The five new medical schools will be based at the University of Sunderland, Edge Hill, Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford,Lincoln - The University of Nottingham in partnership with the University of Lincoln and Canterbury - Joint medical school between Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent

    Health and social care secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Setting up five new medical schools is part of the biggest ever expansion of our medical and nursing workforce; which will help us deal with the challenges of having around one million more over 75s in ten years’ time.

    "These schools are being set up in parts of the country where it is can be hard to recruit and attract new doctors - but will benefit doctors everywhere as we start to eliminate the rota gaps that add so much pressure to their work."
