The University of Oxford's Medical School is committed to working in partnership with patients, carers, family members and the public. By sharing their health experience with medical students – and giving feedback on how they deal with patients – patients and the public can help students develop the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to be good doctors.

Patients also have unique insights to offer about what and how students should be taught and can help keep the medical school accountable through representation on governance bodies. Above all, having lay people involved in medical education ensures that everyone – students, teaching staff and the school itself – keep patients at the heart of everything they do. For more information, please email the Co-Leads for Patient Public Involvement in Medical Education:
