ABOUT US
West London Postgraduate Medical School (WLPMS) is a
not-for-profit organisation based at Ealing
Hospital, London, UK.
WLPMS was formed by senior physicians at Ealing Hospital
to enable the delivery of the Clinical MD courses for the University of
Buckingham Postgraduate Medical School (UBMS) and clinical courses in General
Internal Medicine for other UK universities. These courses are aimed both at
International Medical graduates as well as UK trained medical graduates.
WLPMS interfaces between UK
universities and hospitals and is the sole service provider for all the MD programmes at the University
of Buckingham.
A two year
Clinical MD in General Internal Medicine was started
in May 2008 for doctors who applied to enrol with
the University of Buckingham. There are three intakes each year in January, May and September on an on-going basis..
A 3 year Clinical MD programme has been launched and is currently recruiting.
In addition, another Research plus Clinical MD has been launched and is
also currently recruiting. The first year of this
programme is pure research leading to the award of MSc in Medical
Research followed by 2 year Clinical MD.
All three MD programmes have three entry points each year.
WLPMS plans to start postgraduate courses exclusively in
individual medical sub-specialities and surgical specialties in the
future.
Please note that WLPMS is not a university in
itself. WLPMS is simply an organisation of interested senior
consultants that interlinks students, universities and hospitals.
WLPMS functions to design postgraduate courses and curricula, helps universities
obtain accredition for these courses with the Quality Assurance Agency,
advertises and recruits candidates worldwide, organises teaching, training and
examinations and helps in providing accommodation for the candidates.
WLPMS does NOT enrol or register candidates with it, does NOT grant the
degree award to successful candidates and does NOT accept tuition
fees. The candidates are always registered with the respective university
and the degree award will be granted by the university. WLPMS is in every
sense, a service provider.
