The National end-to-end talent development network for the UK medicines manufacturing sector, delivered in partnership with Innovate UK and DSIT.
The RESILIENCE Medicines Manufacturing Skills Centre of Excellence is a partnership between the University of Birmingham (Lead), University College London, Heriot-Watt University, Teesside University and Britest Limited.
The Centre of Excellence will bring together leading regional training providers to support the UK life sciences workforce by delivering high quality training and outreach, spanning the entire careers pipeline for industry, academia, and NHS.
We will adopt a co-ordinated and scalable approach to skills development for the UK medicines manufacturing community.

Co-created, co-branded core materials for training and outreach that are readily scalable across the UK.
Digital training approaches including cutting edge virtual reality and mixed reality to enable standardisation and consistency across our network.
Accelerator programmes for T-level students, undergraduate placement students, graduates and CPD trainees, and apprenticeship cohort activities, supporting all career entry points.
