The Ulster University Team
Our team is focused on preparing nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals and support staff to address the healthcare needs of society by enhancing their skills, knowledge and person-centred attributes. Our School is unique in its provision, its structure and culture. We have evolved as a School to include paramedicine alongside nursing, strengthening our team’s diversity, breath of influence and commitment to supporting the healthcare workforce.
Our work is uniquely underpinned by the theory of person-centred practice that has flourished beyond the borders of nursing and midwifery to incorporate healthcare professionals from all disciplines, across our research centres and including all our educational curricula.
With our on-campus cognate disciplines of Allied Health Professions and Medicine, we are ideally positioned to realise a more integrated approach to healthcare education. We continue to work in an integrated way with practice, policy makers and other stakeholders regionally, nationally and internationally, and have a collective desire to constantly evolve and adapt.
The external research profile of the School extends globally and the School’s curricula have an excellent reputation for innovation, quality and the delivery of high-quality graduates.
