When you join the School of Healthcare, you'll have access to our excellent healthcare facilities, both on-site and online.

Skills and simulation facilities

Our skills and simulation facilities and fully furnished flat allow us to recreate hospital wards with beds, ancillary equipment and washing areas to mirror the conditions students experience in clinical environments. We can set these spaces up to simulate the following:

  • an adult ward
  • a paediatric and maternity ward
  • an intensive care unit with simulated patients (highly fidelity manikins)
  • a large general ward,
  • a maternity suite with Sim mum and Sim baby
  • and we also have a fully furnished flat with lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom (with elderly or child occupants).

Discover Leeds from anywhere in our 360° virtual experience – a chance to delve into everything we have to offer. You can browse image galleries, virtual tours, videos and subject-specific ‘day in the life’ experiences.

You'll have a wide range of access to IT and support across campus. The Baines Wing is within a few minutes stroll to outstanding University IT facilities at the Laidlaw Library, the Parkinson 24-hour facility, the Brotherton library and the Edward Boyle library.

Student zones

Our student zones comprise two specially designed areas for you to study or unwind.

  • The Study Zone incorporates the latest interactive technology in two group learning pods, enabling you to collaborate on joint projects. This area combines a traditional study environment with modern enhancements, including soft seating for small groups or individual use, within a soundproofed area.

  • The Chillout Zone provides a relaxing place for you to meet up with friends. You'll be able to catch up and unwind on comfortable sofas, easy chairs and enjoy a plasma TV within a full wireless environment. This is a popular community area.
