School of Allied Health Professions, Pharmacy, Nursing and Midwifery facilities
We provide an excellent study environment for aspiring and qualified health professionals across our main campus.
Anatomy teaching
We offer a modern approach to anatomy education for students across the Faculty of Health and beyond.
Throughout your anatomy and physiology teaching, you'll benefit from a combination of expert-led teaching, real human plastinated specimens, and advanced digital resources.
We’ve recently invested in 22 Anatomage tables, one of the most advanced 3D anatomy visualisation tools available. This makes the University of Sheffield number one in the world for Anatomage content delivery. These full-size interactive digital tables let you explore the human body layer by layer, rotate and isolate structures, and simulate different clinical conditions. It’s a powerful tool for linking anatomical knowledge to scenarios you might face in clinical practice.
Clinical skills teaching
Throughout your time at Sheffield you'll develop your clinical skills in a safe, simulated environment. You’ll use high-fidelity manikins and the latest VR equipment to build your confidence and competence throughout your degree.
Our facilities reflect what is currently used in the workplace, and provide support for the teaching, learning and assessment of students across our undergraduate, postgraduate and apprenticeship programmes.
During your clinical skills teaching you'll also work with our Patients as Educators, volunteer patients who will support the development of your clinical and communication skills, and share their real-life experiences of living with a range of health conditions.
Speech and Language Therapy Clinic
Our Speech and Language Therapy Clinic opened in 1993, and is based on-campus. Having an on-site clinic gives students studying speech and language therapy the opportunity to gain practical experience during their studies.
The clinic’s observation and treatment rooms will give you the chance to work with children, young people and adults with a range of eating, swallowing and communication difficulties.
Orthoptics facilities
We have excellent orthoptic teaching and clinical facilities, which are based across our Mushroom Lane site and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
Our relationship with the Royal Hallamshire Hospital eye department means that students get to learn within a state-of-the-art clinical teaching environment. Throughout your studies, you’ll have access to a large range of clinical tests required for orthoptic assessments.
Our optics room is the location for investigations into the nature of light and the teaching of clinical visual optics such as the fundamentals of static and dynamic retinoscopy, the use of slit lamps and focimetry.
The vision science room is a clinical research space equipped with a range of clinical orthoptic tests, as well as an autorefractor, pupilometer, focimeter and a PlusoptiX photorefractor.
The Eye Movement Room is primarily used for research projects. The room houses a high-resolution Eyelink 1000+ eye movement recorder.
Pharmacy facilities
As a Sheffield Pharmacy student you'll benefit from high quality facilities across our campus - including a dispensary and specialist laboratories.
Study spaces
If you study with us on campus, you’ll be based close to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The hospital is home to the Sheffield Medical School, and is where you’ll find our Health Sciences Library.
You'll also have access to dedicated study spaces at our Mushroom Lane site, as well as central university facilities.
