At the College of Medicine and Health we are shaping the future of health and medicine through the provision of innovative education and outstanding research.  We are preparing the next generation for successful careers in healthcare. Our interdisciplinary research teams are translating findings into clinical practice. We are dedicated to improving quality of life, preventing premature deaths and reducing healthcare burden around the world.

The College consists of a diverse community of academic staff, research staff, health professionals and Professional Services staff working side-by-side and in collaboration with our NHS partners, including Birmingham Health Partners (BHP), an exciting collaborative platform between the University, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, to improve the lives of patients locally, nationally and globally. 

The principal base of the College is part of the main campus of the University in Edgbaston, adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and with a number of other key buildings both on and off campus, including the new Birmingham Dental Hospital and School of Dentistry at Pebble Mill, just a mile from the central campus. Other NHS Trust partners are also on the same campus, including Birmingham Women's Hospital and the Barberry Hospital.
