Health & Allied Professions Centre

Explore our brand-new state-of-the-art clinical skills facility based on our Clifton Campus.

The purpose-built Health & Allied Professions (HAP) Centre is home to our world-class teaching, practice, research and scholarship in the Institute of Health and Allied Professions (IHAP). The 34,000 square foot building features mock hospital wards, consultation and counselling rooms, creative teaching spaces and specialist equipment, providing our students with the knowledge and skills required for a dynamic career in nursing, paramedicine and healthcare.

Our facilities

Hospital wards

Equipped with hospital beds, industry equipment and lifelike patient mannequins which can be robotically controlled using a hand-held device to simulate a range of patient symptoms, illnesses and scenarios you may experience in a real hospital.

Consultation rooms

We have dedicated spaces replicating GP offices and consultation rooms where our students can learn in a variety of scenarios, from allied health and neonatal care to mental health.

Apartment space

Complete with a living room, kitchen area, bedroom and nursery, our apartment recreates a patient’s home and living space, providing the opportunity to explore how care might be delivered in this setting.

Virtual reality wall

Our VR suite allows users to design 360 degree immersive simulations and role play scenarios. This facility allows you to bring situations to life through sight, sound (and perhaps smells!), which can be made even more immersive through use of mannequins and props.

High-tech classrooms and creative spaces

Classrooms are technologically enabled with the ability to stream across different rooms and floors allowing lecturers to demonstrate complex skills to different groups. The Health & Allied Professions Centre has a range of collaborative spaces for student centred teaching approaches.

The building has also been designed with a range of different social study spaces to enable students to connect with each other, socialise and have practical places to study. The focus on collaborative spaces supports IHAP’s growing research and practice focused innovations.

Health & Allied Professions Involvement Group

The Involvement Group exists to enhance the education of students and apprentices in the department of Health and Allied Professions at NTU studying nursing, nursing associate, paramedicine and public health subjects

Members of the public, patients and people who use health and social care services and their carers/family are invited to volunteer and share their perspectives and experiences

It is hoped that through meaningful involvement with volunteers, our future health professionals will gain a deeper understanding of high quality, compassionate and inclusive healthcare practice

We want this to be a diverse group and actively welcome people from all communities to be involved.

Embracing sustainability

The HAP Centre has been built in line with our Sustainable Construction Policy and is on track to receive its BREEAM Excellent Post Construction Certificate demonstrating its sustainable features. This includes the solar PV array on the building rooftop; the energy efficient air source heat pumps and the mechanical heat recovery system.

Investment into renewable technologies and consideration of all environmental impacts of a new building (e.g., waste management, sustainable transport, biodiversity and water) are a fundamental aspect of NTU’s Reimagined Strategy Embracing Sustainability strand and working towards our Net Zero Carbon targets.
