The Centre of Evidence-Based Dermatology (CEBD) focuses on health technology assessment and epidemiology as applied to people with skin problems. We also conduct important methodological work especially into the field of childhood eczema. The centre is also running a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Applied Programme Grant on identifying and reducing uncertainties in the treatment of people with skin diseases. The School of Medicine has world-class laboratory facilities, incorporating the latest technologies and specialist services. The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Graduate Centre provides a formal training course which covers a variety of transferable skills targeted specifically at students studying within the faculty. The course is credit weighted with particular parts of the course being compulsory/ obligatory. The University of Nottingham is consistently named as one of the most targeted universities by Britain’s leading graduate employers and can offer students a head-start when it comes to their career.
