University of Dundee, UK

The University of Dundee, College of Medicine is a leading UK medical school that offers an exciting and challenging curriculum with the full integration of a motivated and empowered University and NHS staff. The Medical School works with students in a modern and supportive environment. It also has a high research profile which is focussed and strategically led and which utilises the complementary strengths in e-health, informatics, public health and laboratory science to address important health issues for the Scottish population, and which provides synergy with our undergraduate teaching efforts.


The Centre for Addiction Research and Education Scotland (CARES) is a Scottish based multi-disciplinary academic centre, integrating clinical, basic and social scientists, with the aim of delivering the highest quality healthcare and improving health outcomes to individuals and the Scottish community through the development of research and education in the field of drug, alcohol and tobacco dependence. There is a close association with the East Central Scotland Addiction Services (ECSAS) Managed Care Network (MCN) giving CARES access to a mixed urban/rural population of over 1 million, served by three NHS Boards, each of which are supportive of clinical academic activities.


Playfield Institute is the main partner working with the University of Dundee on the CAMILLE project. This institute is a unique partnership between Public Health and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, funded by the National Health Service (NHS) and based in the region of Fife in the East of Scotland, but with strong national links.  It is a resource for anyone working with or caring for children and young people (e.g. school nurses, social workers, teachers, foster carers, parents).  The Institute’s goal is to support workers and parents/carers to: promote the mental wellbeing of children and young people; provide early intervention and support for children and young people with mental health problems; and to improve and take care of their own wellbeing.  It offers support through the coordination and provision of training, information and research.
