After visiting the North Wales Medical School at Bangor University, the Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy said:
“Firstly, I would like to thank Mr Chris Drew, Dr Huw Roberts (College Manager, College of Medicine and Health), Dr Liz Mason (Deputy Head, School of Health Sciences), and Dr Leah Taylor (Lecturer in Anatomy) for their kind welcome and for sharing their expertise with me.
“The School of Health Sciences is a brilliant institution that promotes excellence in medical, health, and social care sciences through research, teaching, and learning.
“Their anatomy lab was fascinating, and the vast array of medical specialities the university covers is incredible, alongside their extensive contributions to COVID-19 research. There was so much to learn and experience during the visit.
“I also appreciated the opportunity to discuss with them the incorporation of a dental school within the same programme. This will help ensure we support and produce the next generation of excellent dental surgeons.
“Bangor Medical School offers students a brilliant start to their medical careers and is a truly inspiring hub for vital medical research that strengthens our Welsh NHS.”

Ar ôl ymweld ag Ysgol Feddygol Gogledd Cymru ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, dywedodd yr Aelod o’r Senedd dros Aberconwy:
"Yn gyntaf, hoffwn ddiolch i Mr Chris Drew, Dr Huw Roberts (Rheolwr y Coleg, Coleg Meddygaeth ac Iechyd), Dr Liz Mason (Dirprwy Bennaeth, Ysgol Gwyddorau Iechyd), a Dr Leah Taylor (Darlithydd mewn Anatomeg) am eu croeso cynnes ac am rannu eu harbenigedd gyda mi.
"Mae'r Ysgol Gwyddorau Iechyd yn sefydliad gwych sy'n hyrwyddo rhagoriaeth mewn gwyddorau meddygol, iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol trwy ymchwil, addysgu a dysgu.
"Roedd eu labordy anatomeg yn hynod ddiddorol, ac mae'r amrywiaeth eang o arbenigeddau meddygol mae'r brifysgol yn eu cwmpasu yn anhygoel, ochr yn ochr â'u cyfraniadau helaeth at ymchwil COVID-19. Roedd cymaint i'w ddysgu a'i brofi yn ystod yr ymweliad.
"Roeddwn i hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi'r cyfle i drafod ymgorffori ysgol ddeintyddol o fewn yr un rhaglen. Bydd hyn yn helpu i sicrhau ein bod yn cefnogi ac yn cynhyrchu'r genhedlaeth nesaf o lawfeddygon deintyddol rhagorol.
"Mae Ysgol Feddygol Bangor yn cynnig dechrau gwych i fyfyrwyr i'w gyrfaoedd meddygol ac mae'n ganolfan wirioneddol ysbrydoledig ar gyfer ymchwil feddygol hanfodol sy'n cryfhau ein GIG yng Nghymru."
