Medicine). The school also offers the PhD by Published Work with a minimum of six months registration prior to submission. Research Research at Warwick Medical School is configured into three divisions: Biomedical Sciences, Health Sciences and Clinical Trials. Division of Biomedical Sciences The work of WMS's research in Biomedical Sciences focuses on major human diseases including cancer, inflammation, neuro-degeneration and bacterial and viral infections. Research focuses on understanding at a molecular level what happens to these cells. This work is essential for developing effective therapeutic treatments. Division of Health Sciences Home to a range of academics, the Health Sciences division analyses social, psychological, organisational and bio-medical issues. The division's research focus is on designing and evaluating behavioural, medical, technological and organisational interventions. The aim is to improve clinical practice and ultimately health outcomes. Warwick Clinical Trials Unit The Warwick Clinical Trials Unit was set up in 2005 and is an academic clinical trials unit with expertise in the design and conduct of trials, particularly of complex health states and interventions. WCTU is interdisciplinary, with collaboration between clinical triallists, statisticians, economists, clinical experts and project managers. With expertise in both designing and conducting trials, WCTU specialises in trials investigating complex health states and interventions. Its programmes of work draw together quantitative and qualitative methodologies in an evaluation framework. High quality, randomised evidence is generated to inform modern clinical and health care practice. WCTU's major strands of work are: Cancer Emergency and Critical Care Frailty Mental Health Musculoskeletal disorders and pain Trauma and Orthopaedics Rehabilitation Reproductive Health Clinical trials methodology Research Centres Spearheading research that pushes the boundaries, WMS research centres are dedicated to seeking answers and applying this knowledge to transform people's lives.

There are a number of other Warwick Medical School societies, including: Street Doctors WMS Vipers WMS Anaesthetics Society Warwick Wilderness Medicine Society Teddy Bear Hospital Friends of MSF Marrow Pride Student Sems The Warwick Ultrasounds choir References Medical schools in England
