Hire our facilities

The School of Allied Health Professions and Nursing houses two outstanding clinical simulation suites, both equipped with specialist clinical simulation apparatus, which are now available to hire. Situated in the Thompson Yates and Johnston Buildings on Central Campus, our facilities can be used for a variety of commercial purposes such as filming, training, high resolution scanning, educational visits or other bespoke events.

Florence Nightingale Clinical Simulation Suite;

Named after the founder of modern nursing, The Florence Nightingale Suite was transformed from classroom spaces to a sophisticated clinical simulation environment in 2021.

The suite houses realistic reproductions of fully functioning hospital wards which mimic those used in the NHS and is home to a variety of specialist equipment. The area is also home to observation and assessment rooms which enable the use of scenario-based learning techniques as well as simulated general professional environments.
