Underpinned by our mission, vision and values, the Strategic Plan sets the direction of St George’s for the period 2010-15. It draws on our strengths and distinctiveness to define ambitious, yet realistic, aims. These put our students, research and sharing knowledge within our communities at the heart of what we wish to attain.

The plan focuses on ensuring we take advantage of the opportunities presented by the changing health and higher education landscape, and are prepared for the challenges.
