Inspired teaching

We embrace technology and put you at the heart of it with our immersive environments.

As well as being taught by award-winning lectures in simulated hospital wards, experiencing block placements in hospitals, community settings and primary care settings, we supplement your training with our virtual learning environment and monitor your progress in real time to provide valuable feedback.

Our ground-breaking use of virtual reality will transport you to service user’s homes, to complete risk assessments, check medications and personal hygiene all whilst promoting your critical thinking. Our active learning philosophy includes scenarios involving what it feels like to be sectioned, going through radiotherapy and conflict situations, advancing your understanding, empathy and resilience to become a truly competent and prepared practitioner.

Our lecturers and tutors come from a diverse range of backgrounds, giving you the opportunity to learn from experts in the field. Many are still practising, this keeps the teaching relevant and up to date.

We're proud to be shortlisted for the Student Nursing Times Pre-registration Provider of the Year Award 2023.
