University of East London - Centre for health studies unveiled

The Duchess of Cornwall has opened a new centre focusing on podiatry, physiotherapy, complementary medicine and sports science. The Centre for Clinical Education, based at the University of East London's Stratford campus, is part of the School of Health and Bioscience. It houses labs and a minor operations suite. Martin Everett, the vice-chancellor, said the facility was a "milestone in the provision of clinical education in London and marks a new phase in the development of our university". The area is undergoing major redevelopment as it prepares to host the 2012 Olympic Games.
