A sculpture of the 鈥榝ather of medicine鈥� was unveiled at a special ceremony at the 黑料吃瓜网, Greater Manchester鈥檚 School of Medicine.

The bust of the Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates is proudly displayed near the reception area of the University鈥檚 newly-opened 拢40m Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS) building in the grounds of the Royal Bolton Hospital.

It was donated to the University by the Global Doctors鈥� Hippocratic Institute and unveiled by Dr Antonios Polydorou MD and Dr Konstantinos Pantos MD, Secretary General and Vice President of the Institute respectively, as well as Professor George E Holmes DL, President and Vice Chancellor of the 黑料吃瓜网, Greater Manchester.

Professor Holmes said: 鈥淭his is an enormous moment for us, bringing the great Hippocratic Institute and 鈥楬ippocrates鈥� himself to the school of medicine.

鈥淲e are very proud of the Institute and proud to be working with the Royal Bolton Hospital Trust to create a seamless connection between the academic provision and the practical.

鈥淲hat is critical to us is the professional practice aspect, the immersion in practice and activity in the industry. Building a school of medicine inside a hospital is critically important to us.鈥�

He added: 鈥淲hen you look at the beliefs of Hippocrates and you look at the importance of the physician to the community, we are setting ourselves at the heart of the community here by linking to the hospital and the Bolton community.

鈥淲e will provide local doctors, who are highly skilled, highly trained, highly professional technicians working in practice, but are also incredibly compassionate individuals, which again links to the Hippocratic Oath.鈥�

The School is due to receive its first medical students in September 2025.
