Keele appoints new Dean for School of Medicine

An esteemed general practitioner and medical educationalist has been appointed as the new Dean of Keele’s School of Medicine.  

Professor Peter Coventry has been appointed to lead the School having previously served as Deputy Dean, and has combined playing pivotal roles in developing the School of Medicine with clinical work as a GP partner in Telford.   

He started his career at Keele in 2006, working with academic and professional support colleagues on the development of Keele’s sector-leading undergraduate Medicine course, co-leading the development and then initial delivery of the first year of the course.   

He followed this by directing the development of the curriculum and being responsible for ensuring the course received GMC approval. The course continues to be highly successful in producing graduates ready to hit the ground running as Foundation doctors.   

In 2015 he became Director of Undergraduate Programmes in the School of Medicine, and then, following the merger of the Schools of Medicine and Primary, Community and Social Care, he combined this with being Deputy Dean of the new school until 2022.   

Outside of Keele and his work as a GP, he is focused on promoting high quality medical education through his quality assurance work for the GMC, and he has been active in working with colleagues on nationally important projects including exploring approaches to proposed changes in undergraduate medical education.  

He has extended the scope of his educational leadership beyond undergraduate medicine during his time as Deputy Dean, and he ensured that the clinical courses have been successfully delivered during the Covid pandemic.  

Professor Coventry said: “Having been involved with Keele’s School of Medicine since its early days, I have been privileged during that time to not only see it thrive as an established, leading Medical School, but also to have worked with wonderful colleagues in enabling it to go from strength to strength. I therefore couldn’t be happier to be taking on this new role as Dean, and look forward to working with colleagues across Keele, our NHS partners, and in the community, to ensure the School’s continued success.”  

Professor Christian Mallen, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences added: “After a nationally competitive process I am delighted Peter has been appointed to the role. He is a world-leading educator who has unrivalled knowledge of the field. His leadership is exactly what is needed to continue the outstanding success of the School.”

The theoretical mechanism of the sublimation of uranium hexafluoride are considered. The most contribution to the rate of evaporation of UF 6 is introduced by the conductive mode of heat exchange. Various modes of the intensification of the evaporation of uranium hexafluoride during the nitrogen supply in pulse mode to the product mass are investigated. The nitrogen supply results in the turbulization of gas flow within a vessel (Re = 2500–4000) and significantly increases the rate of evaporation of uranium hexafluoride with the substantial decrease in a weight of the nonevaporable residue of 5.6–1.0 kg. The complex application of the pulse nitrogen supply in combination with heating the bottom of the vessel is the most effective method for evaporating uranium hexafluoride. The rate of evaporation of UF6 increases by a factor of almost four in comparison with the design mode. The developed methods are applied in industry and provide the stable operation of Saturn reactors during the conversion of uranium hexafluoride into its dioxide.
