South Bristol Academy

Introduction: The hospitals of the South Bristol Academy may be busy, noisy, in out-of-date buildings and a challenge to navigate, but they also contain the most dedicated teachers and administrators, offer myriad opportunities to gain fantastic experiences and give you the chance to work with the most supportive and friendly inter-professional teams! State of the art facilities in the UBHT Education Centre include lecture theatres, tutorial rooms, a skills lab, library and PC access to the University and Academy Networks. The ground floor of Dolphin House offers a quiet study area with further PCs, and locker rooms. On the first floor of Dolphin House you will find the student Bar and a seminar room. Wherever you go you will find a warm welcome!
