  • Update on the Three Counties Medical School
    Update on the Three Counties Medical School Dear Colleague You are receiving this because you have previously expressed interest in the formation of a Three Counties Medical School (TCMS). This is intended to give you an update on progress. The Course To start with a few basics, the course will be: • Four year, graduate-entry course • 100 students/year • First admissions September 2021 • Course based on that of Swansea who are the ‘contingent partner’ • Entry criteria o 1 or 2i degree in any subject o Pass GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admission Test; basic science related to health) to a requisite level o Interview • Widening participation is a key objective • Emphasis on primary care and psychiatry o But must graduate pluri-potential doctors Clinical Environment The TCMS is based at the University of Worcester. The University has significant strengths in a range of health-related subjects, including Physician Associates, and its graduates are well regarded in the local health services. The area of TCMS covers the counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire and the NHS facilities in all of these will be essential in providing the clinical, and some basic medical science, learning and teaching. This may be extended to the contiguous areas if the environment is suitable. Clinical placements will be in approximately equal numbers in the community and in secondary care. The ‘community’ is taken to include both primary care and specialist care provided out with the major hospitals. It is anticipated that ‘hubs’ of community hospitals, their associated general practitioners and the related health care team will provide a suitable framework.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury
