Prof Van-Tam cut the ribbon to formally open the school in LincolnOne of the medics responsible for England's response to the coronavirus pandemic has opened a new medical school at the University of Lincoln.
Prof Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, previously UK deputy chief medical officer, formally opened the Ross Lucas Medical Sciences Building.Prof Neal Juster, the university's vice-chancellor, said the building symbolised "how education can impact positively on a place, and the people in it".
Lincoln Medical School was established in 2018 to improve the recruitment and retention of doctors to Lincolnshire.The five-storey building includes solar panels as well as a living green wall of plants. Speaking to BBC Radio Lincolnshire, Prof Van-Tam said: "It's a really momentous occasion to be opening a medical school which hopefully will change the landscape and mean that we grow our own doctors and keep them in Lincolnshire."
The football fan, who famously supports hometown club Boston United, added: "If this medical school existed when I was applying then this would have been almost top of the list, if not top of the list."Prof Danny McLaughlin, Dean of Medicine, said: "Future generations of doctors can now benefit from purpose-built lecture theatres, laboratories, clinical skills and anatomy suites, equipped with cutting edge diagnostic tools.
