Principal, Professor Sir Anthony Newman Taylor
The Faculty of Medicine is one of Europe’s largest medical institutions – in terms of its staff and student population and its research income.
Established in 1997, it brings together all the major West London medical schools into one world-class institution. It maintains close links with a number of NHS Trusts with whom it collaborates in teaching and research activities.
Although on several sites, its academic divisions function as one Faculty, fully integrated within the College. The current Principal, Professor Sir Anthony Newman Taylor, took up his appointment on 1 December 2010.
