Woy Woy lawyer accepts keys to new medical school
Woy Woy lawyer Mr Paul Tonkin has accepted the keys to the new Central Coast medical school as chair of the board of the Central Coast Local Health District.
A "handing-over of the keys" ceremony was held at the Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute, opposite Gosford Hospital.
Central Coast Parliamentary Secretary Mr Adam Crouch and Federal Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks presented the keys to the Central Coast Local Health District and the University of Newcastle.
"In just 31 days' time, we will see the first students walk through the doors," said Ms Wicks.
"This means local students will have more options to complete all levels of their education - primary, secondary and tertiary - right here on the Central Coast."
"The clinical school will provide 850 places for students to complete their nursing, midwifery and medicine degrees, and expand the opportunities we have on the Central Coast to undertake important research and continue to improve healthcare," said health district chief executive Dr Andrew Montague.
"The project is jointly funded by the NSW Government, the Australian Government and the University of Newcastle," he said.
