Academic Support

Our strategy for student support and guidance is based on the provision of clear and timely information, academic guidance and individual tutorial support, backed up through the Student Wellbeing Service with specialist academic and welfare services.

A member of staff is allocated to students as their personal tutor to offer general academic guidance and pastoral support. In addition, our students operate their own ‘peer-parenting’ system whereby every new student is attached to several more senior students who are available to offer advice and guidance.

We take full advantage of communication and information technology to provide additional support throughout the learning process, and especially when students are on clinical attachment.
