Nottingham College is set to launch a new Health Care Hub at its City Hub Campus to help people pursue nursing and caring careers. The Health Care Hub includes a simulated hospital ward, which provides students with a realistic learning environment that mimics a hospital environment and will be opening in time for September 2023.
Commenting on the launch of the new Health Care Hub, the Principal of Nottingham College said:

We are delighted to launch our new Health Care Hub, which will provide students with a state-of-the-art learning environment that mimics the actual hospital environment.

A new way to study this September
We’re also introducing a new T Level in Health, starting from September 2023, which focuses on Adult Nursing. The course is a Level 3 full-time technical qualification and includes a work placement with the NHS. The T level is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and practical experience to pursue a career in Adult Nursing. The work placement with the NHS will give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world setting and gain valuable experience in the field.
In addition to the T Level, we’re also offer a range of Health and Social Care courses, including the Access to Nursing course. These courses are designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to kick-start their careers in the field.
Access to Nursing
Jonny joined our Access to Nursing and Midwifery course last year and aspires to work in adult nursing. After working in a completely different industry for the past 20 years, he returned to education so he could fulfil his ambition of a career change and enter the world of nursing.

I have been a plasterer for over 20 years and decided I wanted a career change. Studying an Access course is giving me the opportunity to start a rewarding career and give me a second chance to try something new. I am hoping to start my nursing degree later this year and because of studying my Access course I now hold conditional offers at The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University for a nursing degree.

For students who are interested in pursuing a university-level course in science, Nottingham College also offers the opportunity to progress onto degree-level study. Students who are currently in year 12 or 13 can find out more about the university-level study options available to them by booking a space on the Higher Education Information Evening, which will take place on the 15th June.
