THE head of Keele Universitys medical school has paid tribute to her wonderful team of colleagues after being awarded an OBE.

Professor Val Wass has been recognised in the New Years Honours List for services to medical education.

The school of medicine at Keele has gone from strength to strength since it was launched more than a decade ago.

Val, who joined the university in 2009, is also the first woman to be elected to the executive of the UK Medical School Council.

She said:It is excellent that services to medical education are being recognised and excellent for Keele that the achievements here are also being acknowledged. I am thrilled about this.

Vals OBE was officially announced on the same day her dad celebrated his 93rd birthday.

And she said the success was down to a collective effort at Keele.

She said: Its a hugely skilled and committed team on a wonderful, friendly beautiful campus.

I am truly grateful and very appreciative of all I have learnt here at Keele.
