An enquiring, analytical and creative approach to learning is encouraged to develop the clinical reasoning skills that are necessary for competent and responsible professionals.

Our programme produces graduates who have the ethical and professional abilities that are necessary to become caring practitioners who are capable of professional development and wider community responsibilities.

Our student-centred learning approach encourages independence in learning so that graduates can maintain relevant knowledge in a dynamic profession.
