InterCity Place
The first-class new home for our healthcare teaching and research
InterCity Place will create a brand new space to train and develop the next generation of nurses, paramedics and allied health professionals.
A new home for our School of Nursing and Midwifery and School of Health Professions , it will complement the existing clinical facilities on our main campus and create an unrivalled location where undergraduate and postgraduate students from a variety of disciplines learn together under one roof.
This means that by the time students graduate, they will not only have the knowledge and skills needed for 21st century healthcare, but also the experience of working alongside other practitioners just as they will in their future careers.
