Dear Alumni
My four years as Executive Dean of this faculty have been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding periods of my career.
Although the pre-pandemic and within pandemic eras brought different challenges and needs, throughout all these times our staff, alumni and NHS partners have worked tirelessly to support those who matter most - our students and patients. I feel hugely privileged to have been part of this effort. My interactions with the alumni have been particular highlights which I will take with me into the future as I formally become an alumnus myself!
Good luck to everyone - you are in extremely capable hands with the appointment of my successor Michael Escudier.
Professor Mike Curtis
