The Government has now increased the university’s student place allocation from 15 to 50 to help tackle the shortage of NHS health care professionals.Professor Graham Baldwin said: “This is very exciting news for the University but is arguably even better news for the wider region as we have significant health challenges in the North West and a recognised shortage of doctors.
