If you study a professional healthcare course with us, you’ll be based close to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The hospital is home to the Sheffield Medical School, and is where you’ll find our dedicated Health Sciences Library.


Clinical Skills Centre

Our Clinical Skills Centre, Samuel Fox House, is based at the Northern General Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the country. The centre contains mock clinical wards, resuscitation suites, simulated theatres and teaching rooms – a perfect facility for training the healthcare professionals of tomorrow.

The facilities have been chosen to reflect what is currently used in the clinical workplace, and provide support for the teaching, learning and assessment of students across the Faculty of Health's pre-registration courses, including Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery and Pharmacy (from 2026).

Samuel Fox House is also where you'll work with our Patients as Educators volunteers, who will support you with your clinical skills practice, and share their real-life experiences of living with a range of health conditions.

Clinical Skills Facilities

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. Our Pharmacy students will 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 July 2026.

Speech and Language Therapy Clinic

opened in 1993, and is based on-campus. Having an on-site clinic gives students studying speech and language therapy the opportunity to gain practical experience during their studies.
