Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine

Faculty

Welcome to the Faculty of Health, Social Care & Medicine, one of the largest providers of health, social care and medicine education in the North West of England.

Our award-winning Ormskirk campus combines 160 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with cutting-edge modern architecture, including our new £14 million Student Hub. The Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine is housed in a £14 million purpose-built building with some of the best facilities for health and social care students in the country. The teaching and learning resources provide leading edge clinical skills facilities and ward stimulations with industry standard equipment to give students as realistic a learning experience as possible.

Whilst the Faculty’s main base is at Edge Hill University’s Ormskirk campus, we also have bases at Aintree University Hospital, St James’ Manchester, and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. The Faculty’s Postgraduate Centre at Aintree Hospital has undergone a complete refurbishment to provide a dedicated base for health and social care professionals undertaking professional development study.
