    Agenda Item 6 North Area Committee 7 April 2011 Central, South and West Area Committee 12 April 2011 Strategic Development Control Committee 28 April 2011 Application Number: 11/00513/FUL Decision Due by: 10 May 2011 Proposal: Erection of 3 storey building to accommodate relocated Jericho Health Centre on ground floor with accommodation for University Department of Public Health Care and for Oxford University Press at upper levels. Provision of car and cycle parking accessed from Walton Street. Site Address: Former Radcliffe Infirmary Site, south of 118 Walton Street, Appendix 1. Ward: North Ward Agent: Turnberry Consulting Applicant: University Of Oxford Recommendations: (i): North and Central South and West Area Committees are recommended to support the proposals. (ii): Strategic Development Control Committee is recommended to grant planning permission subject to conditions. Reasons for Approval. 1. The Council considers that the proposal accords with the policies of the development plan as summarised below. It has taken into consideration all other material matters, including matters raised in response to consultation and publicity. Any material harm that the development would otherwise give rise to can be offset by the conditions imposed. 2. The planning application seeks to provide replacement health facilities for the Jericho Health Centre located nearby at Cranham Street to the west side of Walton Street, plus accommodation for the University’s Department of Public Health Care, as supported by Local Plan policy and allocation DS.66 of the Plan. It also provides additional accommodation for the Oxford University Press located nearby to the south. The development would relate positively to surrounding conservation areas and to the Grade 1 listed Radcliffe Observatory and would provide sustainable accommodation accessible by a variety of modes of transport.

  • Speciality Training Infectious Diseases with Microbiology Or
    Speciality Training Infectious Diseases with Microbiology or General (Internal) Medicine Training Programme Director: Dr Bridget Atkins Trainee Representative: Dr Elham Khatamsaz Introduction ID/micro is currently a six year training programme with 12 months credit allowed if trainees obtain separate research funding during a period out of programme (OOPR). ID/GIM is a five year programme. In August 2015 a new combined infection training programme will be introduced subject to GMC approval. This will constitute 2 years of core infection training followed by either 2 years of Medical Microbiology (MM), Medical Virology (MV) or Infectious Diseases (ID) or 3 years to obtain a CCT in ID/MM or ID/MV or ID/GIM. In Oxford the programme offers training for a CCT in ID/Micro or ID/GIM. Entry is at ST3 level after achievement of Core Medical Training and MRCP (or equivalent). Trainees currently enter on the 2010 Med Micro (RCPath) and Infectious Diseases (RCP) curricula and are required to fulfil the work competencies, work placed based assessments and knowledge based assessments for both. Trainees in 2015 will be required to be on the latest curriculum which will be the new combined infection training (CIT) and relevant Higher Specialist training (HST) programme as above. Those doing general internal medicine with ID will need to fulfil the requirement of the RCP GIM curriculum. Trainees will undergo posts in microbiology/virology (in Oxford and/or Aylesbury), infection consults, infectious diseases ward, bone infection unit and GIM/ID (Oxford and/or Slough). The deanery collaborates with Wessex deanery and opportunities exist for delivery of ID in Southampton too.
