Construction on a new Medical Clinical Skills Centre has begun at Noble’s Hospital.
The centre will allow regular continuous timetabled medical training for all doctors on the Island.
The recently established Medical Clinical Skills charitable trust has raised the funds for the project with financial support coming from a variety of foundations and trusts.
The development of the centre is one of the many recommendations put to the department in the Francis Report.
The total cost of the facility stands at £930,000 with half of that coming from the trust - the Department of Health will pay the annual running costs of £12,000 per year.
