The Faculty of Medicine launched a new departmental structure from 1 August 2019.  The new departmental structure has been created by the Dean of the Faculty (Professor Jonathan Weber) to enable individual departments to better develop and promote their unique strengths and to ensure effective, clear and consistent approaches to supporting activity and collaboration across the Faculty.

Through the new departmental structure the Faculty will work to: widen academic engagement in the running of the Faculty; deliver strategic development in key areas of our science; drive forward on the opportunities which exist across Imperial for health-related science and translational collaboration; provide greater support for development of new opportunities in research and education; develop recognition, support and development opportunities throughout the organisation.
