Facilities

Living Lab

The Living Lab opened in 2016 and is an integrated facility designed to nurture interprofessional learning. It includes mock hospital wards, an OSCE suite, simulated pharmacies, and an immersive suite which allows students to experience simulated clinical scenarios.

The Sciences Complex

The Sciences Complex is based on our City Campus. It has benefited from multi-million pound investment in modern facilities in recent years and continues to develop as our health sciences offer grows.

It is the central hub for many of our health and sciences courses and is made up of a variety of teaching and learning spaces, including labs, problem-based learning classrooms and facilities that encourage interprofessional learning. A lot of academic staff offices are based here, with an open-door policy in place.
