The

University

of Cambridge

comes to Cranford

Microscope image of Ebola virus

Cranford Community College has

strong links with many top universities

in the UK. One of these is the world

leading University of Cambridge. On the

30th October 2019, Dr Liz Hook, Fellow and

University Lecturer in Cellular and Molecular

Pathology, delivered a highly enjoyable and

engaging interactive session to 45 enthused

year 10, 11 and 12 pupils on “Ebola –

Public Health and Tropical Medicine.”

The lecture was particularly interesting as

students gained a greater understanding of

the challenges of working effectively in a

resource-poor setting. Dr Hook explored the

diagnosis, treatment and containment of

Ebola as well as some of the difficulties

encountered in providing medical

care in remote parts of North Africa.

Dr Hook also gave helpful and practical

advice to the pupils on applying to

Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

The students selected for this event had

demonstrated an aptitude in Science and an

interest in entering the medical profession.

The students were excellent ambassadors

for the school and were fascinated by the

content of the lecture asking many insightful

questions at the end. They enjoyed the event

tremendously and represented Cranford

Community College at its best. Dr Hook

commented on how impressed she was with

the enthusiasm and contributions of our

students, who have benefited hugely from

this memorable lecture, with a renewed

passion for medicine.

This lecture had excellent curriculum links

to infection, response and immunity topics

in GCSE Science and A Level Biology and

students also benefited from an enhanced

knowledge and understanding of these topics.
