NTU has worked with healthcare partners to design and deliver professional CPD, apprenticeships, and an academic framework that supports provider-driven development.
The embedded nature of our NHS partnerships enables greater strategic organisational alignment. The benefits of this include allowing the rapid design of innovative placements for students and graduates, for example.
We have co-developed innovative research that evaluates transformations, creates innovative techniques, and offers unique facilities such as the John van Geest Cancer Research Centre.
