Dr Barbara Wood, Head of Department of Nursing and Health Sciences, welcomes you to the Departmental website.
“The Department of Nursing and Health Studies actively promotes dynamic research and evidence based learning experiences, designed to maximise students’, staff and partners’ creative potential, self-fulfilment, sense of purpose and career direction”
Nursing at Huddersfield attracts and welcomes a wide range of students with a tremendous variety of skills and experiences. This contributes to a vibrant lively atmosphere that fosters a spirit of mutual support and enquiry.
The Department takes pride in providing a supportive and friendly environment that is conducive to learning and ensures the provision of high quality teaching and support that enables students to develop their intellectual, personal and professional skills appropriate to professional practice in a variety of health care settings
All students are given the opportunity to develop an understanding of their roles and responsibilities within the multi-disciplinary environment of health and social care
The Department recognises the essential emphasis on practice and maintains very positive relationships with clinical colleagues to ensure high quality, varied and supportive learning environments in practice for all our students. This relationship is particularly crucial in helping ensure that those students completing Pre-Registration study are confident, competent and ready for a career in nursing. Students from Huddersfield continue to be in great demand and employment rates are very high.
The Department is proud of its excellent reputation and remains determined to further develop this with the continued assistance of all our current and future students
