Our Health and Social Care Facilities

The training facilities in the health and social care department at the CLQ campus are designed to give you practical hands-on experience of using a range of medical and support equipment and in different settings.

From a doctor’s consulting room and an assisted living space – uniquely offered only at our college –, to a simulated hospital ward complete with beds, hoists and realistic manikins that breathe, blink, speak and respond to treatment, you will gain experience of providing high-quality care in realistic settings.

Please note: health and social care courses for adults are taught at the Wellington Road campus.
