The Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences is currently seeking to appoint an inspirational academic Director to lead the new interdisciplinary Simulation Centre at Queen’s University Belfast.
The £3 million KN Cheung SK Chin InterSim Centre was completed in 2020 with significant philanthropic support.
