NURSING & OPERATING DEPARTMENT PRACTICE OPEN DAY PROGRAMME 11am - 2pm

#bucksopenday

A WARM WELCOME

I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to Bucks New University. It is an exciting time for the University, as we prepare to celebrate 125 years of higher learning in 2016 and ten years of University title in 2017.

The Faculty of Society and Health has enjoyed a number of recent successes, including Education Provider of the Year (post-registration) at the Student Nursing Times Awards 2015 and one of our nurses was also shortlisted as Student Nurse of the Year at this event.

Bucks is a friendly, vibrant place to study. We are passionate about empowering and supporting you to achieve your full potential.

Do ask lots of questions! We understand that choosing to become a Nurse or an Operating Department Practitioner is a big decision so we are here to support you every step of the way.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

We are proud of our research in all disciplines, which has been recognised as either world leading or internationally excellent.* Our research has significant impact on public policy and improving practice. We engage in applied research in partnership with business and employers regionally, nationally and internationally, ensuring our courses meet the changing demands of the health and social care sectors.

This event offers you a great opportunity to find out more about our nursing and operating department practitioner programmes, meet our specialist staff and current students, as well as see our impressive simulation suites.
