Derby Education Centre

The School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy is based at Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. In Derby we offer the Graduate Entry Nursing course, the BSc (Hons) Nursing for the Adult field of nursing, the Bachelor of Midwifery and the Midwifery shortened programme for registered nurses.

We pride ourselves on our close working relationship with the local providers of health care, whether that is with the acute sector (London Road Community Hospital and Royal Derby Hospital), the wide range of mental health care provision, or the primary care sector.

Students obtain practical experience at both the London Road Community Hospital and the Royal Derby Hospital. Placement experiences are also available in several large psychiatric hospitals and in smaller community hospitals and units.

In June 2012 the Educational Centre will be moving to a purpose built site within the new Royal Derby Hospital, one of the biggest hospitals in the East Midlands. We will again be promoting close contacts with our practice colleagues but it is also a unique opportunity to promote inter-professional learning with the University of Nottingham Medical School at Derby.
