About the School of Allied Health Professions, Pharmacy, Nursing and Midwifery
Our aim is to train high-quality healthcare professionals and support them throughout their working lives.
Our School brings together expertise from across our four core areas:
Across these fields, we provide a range of apprenticeships, undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses, and CPD opportunities.
Those who study with us join a broad and supportive community, led by passionate teachers, clinicians and researchers who help individuals to fulfil their ambitions.
We’re leaders in health professions education and training
We are a part of the Russell Group, an association of leading universities committed to producing outstanding research and teaching. Our courses are delivered by a mixture of academic staff and clinical staff, who all bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to help develop excellent healthcare practitioners.
We are one of only two universities in England to train professionals in the specialist area of orthoptics, making Sheffield a true centre of excellence. A high proportion of professional orthoptists working in the NHS today were trained here at the University of Sheffield.
The range of courses that we offer includes options for full-time study, part-time study, and distance learning. Whether individuals are looking to gain their pre-registration qualifications, or are already a qualified healthcare professional looking to develop their skills, we’ll have the right option to suit their needs.
Our facilities
Our facilities have been chosen to reflect what is currently used in the clinical workplace, and provide support for the teaching, learning and assessment of our students in a variety of clinical and simulated settings.
Patients as Educators
Developed in 2004 our Patients as Educators programme gives students as much opportunity as possible to learn from real patients. The programme is internationally recognised as the largest of its kind, with more than 800 patients and volunteers involved.
