“Some of our newest facilities include our Health and Education Innovation Quarter (HEIQ), which comprises a state-of-the-art health simulation suite featuring ward spaces, a side bay and an observation room.
“We also have a ‘Simbulance’ – a simulation ambulance, and a space inside the HEIQ, which replicates the inside of an ambulance, imitating the environment that paramedic students will experience when they qualify.
“There’s also our Operating Department Practice (ODP) space, which features all the equipment you would find in an operating theatre, while our Occupational Therapy (OT) students benefit from our Living Lab, which is a combination of a teaching space and simulated living environment – as well as our modern nutrition and dietetics kitchen.
“Prospective engineering students will be excited to see that the build of our Enterprise Engineering and Optics Centre (EEOC) is progressing at pace. On completion, this will be a specialist centre for research and development, business collaboration and skills development in optics, photonics and composites as lightweight alternatives for manufacturing.”
