Face Launch Event

The establishment of the Department of Family, Community and Emergency Care (FaCE), a new department in our Faculty is a significant milestone in our story as Faculty.

This department merges the expertise of five existing divisions: Family Medicine (FM), Emergency Medicine (EM), Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM), Interdisciplinary Palliative Care and Medicine (IPCM), and the Primary Health Care Directorate (PHC). The launch will be preceded by the first FaCE Research Day on Wednesday, which represents an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the scholarly work produced by students and staff.
