Education hub for midwives and nurses opens

Midwives magazine: Issue 6 :: 2011

The first university education hub for students training to become midwives and nurses has opened.

The centre in Reading features new seminar rooms, library services and learning support for a total of 1600 students.

The University of West London, formerly Thames Valley University, opened the new hub in Fountain House last week.

Andrew MacCallum, the university dean of the College of Nursing and Midwifery, said: ‘The new facility strengthens our partnership with the NHS in Berkshire and it matches the needs of our students for study and entry into the workplace.’

Previously, students had to use outdated facilities at Thames Valley University's Slough campus.

These have closed now the new facilities have opened.

The centre is the first instance in which the university has provided dedicated facilities for nurses and midwives.

Students will have access to a library, the Internet and learning support at the hub.
