The Nottingham Institute of Health and Social care brings together academics, practitioners, students and researchers, working in collaboration to influence and improve the future of health and social care in the UK and abroad.
We offer undergraduate, postgraduate and CPD courses in everything from nursing, social work, and paramedicine, to occupational therapy and health and social care, along with professional qualifications for specialist healthcare roles. We also contribute to a number of research centres and research groups across NTU in the fields of public health, social care, and beyond.
Alongside our teaching and research, collaboration is at the forefront of what we do, from the NHS and our accrediting professional bodies, to government departments, local authorities and the third sector, not to mention service users and their families.
