Facilities
Enhanced teaching environments and the mix of practical and theoretical elements of our courses ensures students are prepared for the demands of the profession.
Paisley Campus – recent £2.5 million investment in new nursing and midwifery classrooms, lecture theatres and skills labs with simulated ward settings.
Ayr Campus – students benefit from hands-on experience in the campus’ nursing skills labs, which allow them to put learning into practice in a simulated ward setting and review their performance through the labs’ CCTV system.
Hamilton Campus – resources include a suite of
artificial simulated environments with
contemporary healthcare technology, where
students learn nursing practice in a realistic
context. The unpredictability of patient
symptoms are mimicked using sophisticated
software in a clinical ward ranging from a low dependency
bed; and medium-dependency bed;
to a high-dependency bed with life-support
facilities. Midwifery students’ equipment
includes a birthing room with child birth
simulator and a birthing pool for simulated
water births.
Dumfries Campus – major refurbishment in
early 2006 of campus facilities saw creation of
new resources in artificial healthcare
environments, healthcare technology and
software for students.
