- We have invested in our state-of-the-art skills facility at both City Campus and Walsall Campus. The City skills labs have an immersive simulation suite, meaning we can change the environment without moving the students – so we can recreate a road traffic accident, simulate someone who is having an acute mental health crisis, or produce an imitation intensive care unit. Through these simulations, you will get a sense of the environment you may end up in clinical practice and apply appropriate responses. At our Walsall Campus we have expanded clinical skills laboratories - providing a safe, non-threatening environment for teaching and practice. The skills and simulation facilities include several mock hospital ward rooms, mock bedsit and terraced house to practice in as well as using the latest technology with access to an anatomage table. The facilities Panopto enabled - which allows sessions to be filmed and played back and give a patient’s eye-view. Similarly we also have skills labs at Telford Campus.
- You will gain hands-on experiences in a variety of hospital, community and excellent nursing/residential homes, where you work alongside a range of healthcare and other professionals. You will experience opportunities for inter-disciplinary learning across all nursing pathways and with midwifery, social work and social care.
- When you apply to the University of Wolverhampton, we provide you with a list of all of our placement providers. You then get to select a first and second choice as to where you would like to spend your time in practice. Students always evaluate this well as it means you get to know your local Trust – the Trust gets to grow their own workforce, and you as the student have a greater chance of earning a job at the end of your course.
