The Usher Building is at the heart of the growing health innovation district of the Edinburgh BioQuarter – on a fast-growing campus including other Institutes within the Edinburgh Medical School at The University of Edinburgh as well as Scottish Enterprise and NHS partners. This ecosystem is grounded in the Edinburgh and South East Scotland region, while supporting growth and development internationally. Image Snapshot: Upskilling professionals in digital transformation Our Talent Programme seeks to support a modern health and social care workforce that can harness the power of data to transform the delivery of care, delivering high quality learning and development opportunities to support the needs of multiple stakeholders. We have an ambitious programme of activities to engage and train 20,000 students and health and social care professionals in the application of data and digital technologies. This includes building data science expertise through engagement with further education and modern apprenticeships, offering opportunities in lifelong learning, continuing professional development, through undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and beyond. Our Teaching Organisation delivers world-class education at all levels. Health and Social Care Talent Programme website Snapshot: Grounded in our local community Our College works in partnership with the community who live and work in and around Edinburgh BioQuarter to share our research, invite perspective on it, and to co-develop new learning. Our approach is to develop a lasting, long-term relationship with local partners. This will ultimately increase the science capital of people living in the local area, improve outcomes for our young people and build a real sense of community in and around Edinburgh BioQuarter. Our new Usher building will help us to welcome all, young and old, to engage in our research. Community Engagement - Edinburgh BioQuarter website This article was published on 2024-09-24
