We are 2nd for physiotherapy, 3rd for occupational therapy, and 7th for nursing and midwifery in the Complete University Guide 2022. We provide a first-class environment for tomorrow’s nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, occupational therapists, clinical physiologists and podiatrists.
We are a diverse and multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals and scientists from a wide range of disciplines including: nursing, midwifery, allied health professions, physiologists, psychologists, social scientists, bioengineers and biological scientists. We are leaders in research across a wide range of areas including: cancer survivorship, active living, healthcare work and workforce, long-term conditions, ageing and dementia, and continence and skin health. Our partnerships with patients and practice and our national and international collaborations enable us to create innovative education and research programmes that are designed to have maximum impact.
Research groups bring together specialists to share knowledge and solve problems. In the School of Health Sciences, our groups are organised around 4 main themes:
Understanding the needs and experiences of people living with and beyond cancer and their families is critical to ensuring they get the right support at the right time to maximise wellbeing and quality of life.
I have always found cardiology as the most exciting area of health. As a cardiac physiologist, I feel extremely privileged to educate and train the future workforce who will have a direct impact on patients’ lives.
As a psychologist, I am interested in finding effective ways to support young men and women to become better nourished, both for their own health and well-being and for the growth and long-term health of their children.
