Founded with a visionary aim to integrate patient partnerships directly into medical education, the Centre\u2019s unique patient and public involvement model has transformed how future healthcare professionals are trained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The innovative approach taken by the Doubleday Centre under Dame Robina\u2019s leadership has significantly enhanced the MBChB (medical degree) programme in the School of Medical Sciences. The Centre excels in three core areas: patient partnerships, student engagement, and collaboration with other medical schools.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Through patient partnerships, the Centre integrates lived experiences, shaping a curriculum that nurtures compassionate, inclusive healthcare professionals. Its student engagement initiatives, like the Doubleday Conversation Series and dedicated student society, enhance intra-university collaboration and peer learning. Nationally and internationally, the Centre\u2019s collaborative approach extends its impact, promoting patient-centred education across 43 medical schools. This tripartite model not only elevates local educational standards but also sets benchmarks globally, truly transforming medical education.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Doubleday Centre ensures students receive a more patient-centred educational approach, which enables them to improve the care they provide to patients as a doctor. Patients and members of the public provide students with an enhanced understanding of day-to-day healthcare experiences while also improving the students\u2019 learning experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Doubleday Centre is leading the way in improvements to medical education and patient care and is a shining example of our faculty\u2019s contribution to social responsibility and outstanding teaching.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To find out more:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To find out more about PPIE: watch our\u202f<\/span>short film<\/span><\/a>, sign up to the monthly\u202f<\/span>Public Engagement Digest<\/span><\/a>, visit the\u202f<\/span>PPIE blog<\/span><\/a>, or contact <\/span>srbmh@manchester.ac.uk<\/span><\/a>.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
