I can confidently say that I had no idea all those years ago that this was where my journey was heading. I look back on my time as a student at the University of Brighton as formative and fulfilling. The degree programme was eclectic and challenging. It was the perfect place to start a career that has had quite a few twists and turns.
01. Adult nursing students learn in our clinical skills rooms located on both our Eastbourne (pictured) and Falmer campuses. Realistic learning environments with specialist equipment replicate the professional environment preparing students for placements and professional practice. 02. Paramedic science students learn by practising scenarios in our community flat with microphones and recording equipment for debriefing. Here they are working with midwifery students – interprofessional learning to simulate real-world practice.
04. Midwifery birthing simulation suite with a replica hospital room and home environment. 05. Occupational therapy students use specialist rooms equipped for creative arts and crafts. 06. Located in Eastbourne, our community clinic, Leaf Hospital, is used by podiatry students. They treat NHS patients using the clinic’s consulting rooms, orthotics department, operating theatre and licensed anatomy lab.
