Newman University in Birmingham has announced the formation of its School of Nursing and Allied Health.

The School will be located in the newly refurbished Nursing and Allied Health facility at its Bartley Green campus, providing state-of-the-art nursing and physiotherapy facilities, including an immersive room designed to recreate the experience of working in busy health environment and using enhanced realism to train and teach students.

Dr Mohammed Jakhara, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Society and Professional Studies, said: "This is an exciting development for the university, creating a distinctive pathway for those aspiring to embark on rewarding careers in the healthcare sector.

"With a focus on adult nursing, mental-health nursing and physiotherapy, the School will be home to a unique community of trainee healthcare specialists learning alongside their peers in allied professions, such as counselling and psychotherapy and health and social care.

"This integration not only enables students to develop the subject knowledge that is expected of every healthcare professional but will also equip them with a greater understanding of inter-professional working, providing them with the knowledge and understanding they will need to thrive and practice to their highest ability in a multi-agency health and social care system."

The School will welcome its first intake of students in September 2023.
