A first look inside InterCity Place
We gave our healthcare students a sneak peek at the spaces that will be fostering their skills in their chosen disciplines.
A tour of the construction site gave the students a chance to get acquainted with the building and consider the ways it will benefit their learning and practice.
It's amazing how all the health professions are going to be together. We work as a multidisciplinary team in practice and will when we are qualified, so having the opportunity to do that as students is ideal.
