The Research Institute for Social Sciences and the School of Nursing and Midwifery have a developing portfolio of active researchers and supervisors. We usually work in small supervisory teams across the University, to ensure that students receive the best possible supervision at all times. Specialist areas of supervisory support include the areas of end of life and palliative care, respiratory nursing, bereavement, loss and transition, learning disability and user and carer involvement in research. The spacious and light interior of the building consists of seminar rooms, extensive clinical skills laboratories, inter-professional Health Library and IT laboratories, which not only provide high-tech learning and teaching facilities, but also allow and encourage multi-disciplinary learning and team working, an approach that we believe is key to developing a professional healthcare workforce for the future.
