UK, 8th July 2025 – New Anglia University (NAU) has announced a significant expansion to its UK Clinical Rotation Network by partnering with 10 additional NHS hospitals. This initiative provides NAU medical students with enhanced opportunities for real-world clinical training across a broad range of NHS facilities in London, Shropshire, and the West Midlands.
The Newly Partnered NHS Hospitals are institutions that are recognised among the UK’s leading hospitals for clinical excellence, patient care, and specialist training, making them ideal environments for future physicians to develop the skills and confidence required in modern healthcare. The new partners are:
- Newham Centre for Mental Health, London
- Tower Hamlets Centre for Mental Health, London
- City & Hackney Centre for Mental Health, London
- The Redwoods Centre, Shrewsbury
- Bushey Fields Hospital, Dudley
- Bloxwich Hospital, Walsall
- Dorothy Pattison Hospital, Walsall
- Edward Street Hospital, West Bromwich
- Hallam Street Hospital, West Bromwich
- Penn Hospital, Wolverhampton
These partnerships offer greater access to UK-based clinical placements, reduce waiting times, and broaden the clinical exposure available to NAU students. Rotations are tailored to reflect NHS systems and standards, enabling students to build relevant experience and develop professional readiness for UK-based careers.
Provost of New Anglia University, Prof. Oleg Kvlividze, MD, PhD, said, “This expansion reinforces New Anglia University’s commitment to forward-thinking medical education. We’re providing our students with real-world NHS exposure, while building partnerships that address both local health needs and global talent shortages.”
A New Pathway for Medicine
For decades, aspiring doctors in the UK have faced a lengthy, expensive, and high-pressure path to becoming a doctor. At top UK medical schools, becoming a doctor typically takes 8 to 14 years, with tuition and accommodation costs approaching £200,000. With rising tuition fees, GP shortages, and student burnout, many are now looking beyond traditional routes.
New Anglia University, located in Anguilla in the Caribbean, offers an innovative, fast-track MD program that’s rapidly becoming a compelling alternative. Students spend just 20 months on campus, followed by UK-based clinical rotations after two years, offering a streamlined and affordable option for a new generation of medical professionals.
“In Anguilla, we’re not just accelerating medical education, we’re redesigning it to focus on wellness, relevance, and real-world experience. Our model empowers students through its alignment with the UK Foundation Programme and postgraduate pathways, as well as mentorship and references from practising NHS physicians. It offers students a new pathway to NHS rotations with a clearer, faster way to achieve their license.”
This expansion is the latest step in NAU’s mission to provide high-quality, internationally aligned medical training while addressing workforce shortages and reshaping the preparation of future doctors.
