Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) is an equal partnership between the Universities of Sussex and Brighton together with NHS organisations throughout the South East region. The School is fully committed to the principles of Tomorrow’s Doctors, endorses the value of medical education in a multi-professional context, and promotes the highest possible standards in teaching, clinical practice, and research (both fundamental and applied). The research undertaken at BSMS aims to make a genuine contribution to the evidence and science underpinning clinical practice, and to benefit people and patients in their health and wellbeing.
