Pharmacy facilities
As a Sheffield Pharmacy student you'll benefit from high quality facilities across our University campus and Northern General hospital - including a simulated pharmacy, specialist laboratories and dedicated teaching spaces.
Clinical Skills Centre
Our state-of-the-art clinical skills centre is based at Samuel Fox House at Northern General hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the country. It's the perfect place to train the pharmacists of tomorrow.
Pharmacy teaching suite
We are currently redeveloping these facilities to include a suite of dedicated pharmacy teaching spaces, featuring a large, fully-stocked dispensary, alongside consultation rooms and a community pharmacy counter. You'll also benefit from dedicated teaching rooms to practice your clinical skills, as well as support areas for student self-study. These new facilities are set to open in September 2025.
Samuel Fox House is also where you'll work with our Patients as Educators volunteers, who support us across our pre-registration programmes to provide their real life-experience of living with a range of health conditions.
Below you'll find 3D rendered images of our Pharmacy spaces. These are concept designs, and are subject to change.
Simulated learning
Samuel Fox House is also home to state-of-the-art mock clinical wards, resuscitation suites and simulated theatres, featuring SimMan technology, and teaching rooms.
Throughout your studies, you'll have plenty of opportunities to develop your clinical and prescribing skills, and carry out inter-professional learning with students from across the Faculty of Health, including students from our Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery courses.
Laboratory facilities
The majority of your science laboratory sessions will take place in the Faculty of Science's large chemistry teaching labs. These laboratories are fully equipped with the specialist equipment needed for practical sessions in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutics.
You will also learn in the University's cutting-edge Diamond Pilot Plant which gives a unique insight into industrial manufacturing and our dedicated biological lab facilities.
