Manchester: My roles within the Medical School (the largest in Europe, with an annual budget approaching £100M) and Faculty involved the following achievements:
- Award of a NIHR Biomedical Research Centre to Manchester. I led a resubmission invited by the Department of Health in 2008.
- Award of more Walport academic training posts than any centre bar Imperial: emphasising the success of a policy to establish Manchester as a ‘citadel of training’.
