Social Work and Community Studies facilities

Home Learning Environment

Social Work students have access to a home environment room, which offers an opportunity to gain experience of working with service users in realistic situations.

Lecture theatre

The Seacole lecture theatre at our City South campus is one of our larger lecture theatres.

Mock Wards

We have two general ward rooms which are set up to look like typical hospital wards, with four to six bays. Our manikins and simulation equipment can be used within the wards to replicate different conditions. The wards are used by many of our trainee professionals to prepare them for working in hospitals. As well as nurses and midwives, SLTs, dieticians, physios, radiographers and social workers may also have hospital-based roles, where they work with patients, providing treatment while they are in hospital, and helping with recovery and rehabilitation.
