School of Health Studies New Build - Turf Cutting Ceremony

A Turf Cutting Ceremony took place on 1st June 2010 when Dean of the School of Health Studies, Shirley Congdon and Professor Mark Cleary, University Vice Chancellor and Principal officially cut the turf to mark the start of work on the new School.

 Dean of the School of Health Studies, Shirley Congdon, said: "Our students will form a key part of the future workforce of the health and social care sector. Learning, teaching and researching in a new and vibrant environment will assist us in our mission to enhance health care practice and patient outcomes as well as contributing to promoting the health and well being of the diverse populations."

"Working and learning in the new environment will provide bespoke space in which students can engage in high quality simulated practice scenarios that will maximise their ability to effectively transfer their learning to work-based settings. The new accommodation will also provide our staff with additional opportunities to engage in new knowledge transfer activities."
