Chester Educators Network
Dear Educators,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Chester Educators Network website. As an integral part of our medical education community, your contributions shape the future of healthcare by guiding and mentoring the next generation of medical professionals.
This website has been created to facilitate communication, share valuable resources, and strengthen our partnership with you. Here, you will find essential documents such as our Placement Policies and Placement Newsletters, which will keep you informed of upcoming events, initiatives, and updates.
Additionally, we are providing easy access to key staff details, along with links to training videos hosted on our Chester Medical School YouTube channel, designed to support you in delivering high-quality placements and training.
Together, we can ensure that our students receive the very best clinical education, and we look forward to working with you to continue elevating the standard of medical training.
Thank you for your dedication and continued support.
