Nevill Hall Hospital - Education Centre

The first postgraduate centre building at Nevill Hall Hospital was completed in 1975, however by 1978, it was obvious that the centre needed an extension to enable it to provide additional services for training and education and this was opened in 1980. The single storey building then became inadequate for the growing demands made upon it for statutory medical training. A new Education Centre was officially opened in May 2002, by Jane Hutt (then Welsh Assembly Minister for Health and Social Services).

The Education Centre at Nevill Hall is a new, purpose built centre providing a base for all Postgraduate and Undergraduate education. The building also provides an excellent, 24 hour library facility which supports evidence based practice and continuing professional development.

Due to its close proximity it does allow staff easy access to the library meetings, seminars and training events. This has enhanced training provided to staff and subsequently the quality of service provided to patients.

Today, the centre is increasingly busy hosting courses for consultants, GPs and also Royal College exams, as well as teaching for all departments.

Access to the Education Centre and Library facility is by swipe card access only. The swipe card is part of your ID badge.

Alongside the lecture theatre, seminar rooms and meeting rooms, there is a clinical skills lab available for use on low fidelity clinical skills equipment. There are plans to introduce high fidelity simulation in the near future.
