Nursing and midwifery facilities
We have made significant investment in health facilities over the last few years. The Robert Winston Building is a perfect example of this investment.
This building features specialist rooms which have been designed in close consultation with practising health professionals. We are equipped with the latest simulation, practice and investigative equipment.
This means we can offer realistic education and training that equates to the workplace. It also means we can carry out research at a very advanced level.
Specialist nursing and primary care facilities include
• three universal patient simulators - SimMan - for advanced life support training; this mannequin can recreate lifelike patient scenarios
• patient care and basic life support mannequin for simulation and practice of a complete range of patient assessments and realistic CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) training
respiratory performance measurement, patient support and treatment including various nebulisers
• operating theatre with table, lights, anaesthetic machine and laparoscopy system, a scrub and recovery area
Together in the real world of health and social care
Our health and social care courses place a strong emphasis on interprofessional learning. This means that you train alongside practitioners from other health professions. So, depending on your course you could spend time working alongside
nurses
midwives
operating department practitioners
This gives you a fresh perspective on situations. And it also prepares you for the real world. Collaboration between health professionals is increasing as organisations try to provide a more integrated and effective service. At Sheffield Hallam we understand that by working together we can we give the best possible care.
