The School of Health Sciences is the school of nursing, midwifery, and other allied health subjects at Bangor University. It is a part of the College of Medicine and Health. Founded in XXXX as the North Wales College of Nursing and Midwifery, it merged with Bangor University in 1992.
The School offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees as well as CPD courses for those entering or working in health and care-related professions.
History
[edit]The Project 2000 review set out standards for nursing which aimed to make the profession one based around a university degree, rather than an apprenticeship as previous. Existing healthcare education in North Wales was delivered at the time primarily by the North Wales College of Nursing and Midwifery, which had schools in Gwynedd, Clwyd, and Wrexham. Following a proposal by Bangor University, this merged with it in 1992 as the Faculty of Health Sciences and, within that, the School of Nursing and Midwifery.[1] A year later, in 1993, it also absorbed the Wrexham-based North Wales College of Radiography.[2]
It was later known as the School of Medical and Health Sciences, as more medical and clinical courses were taught at Bangor. The establishment of North Wales Medical School in 2023 moved medical teaching to a separate school.
In 2022, Paul Taylor was appointed as a mental health nursing lecturer, the first person with a learning disability to become a lecturer at a UK university.[3]
In Wrexham
[edit]The School of Nursing that already existed on the Maelor Hospital site was relocated a short distance away to the Wrexham Archimedes Centre in 1993 forming Bangor University’s Wrexham Campus. All nursing students were also moved to the new site including existing mental health nursing students and the School of Nursing on the Maelor site was knocked down to build the first mental health wards attached to the Maelor Hospital in 1995, to coincide with the closure of the North Wales Hospital in Denbigh. The unit was renamed Llwyn Y Groes meaning ‘Place of the Cross’ where a pre-existing church had stood.
Campus
[edit]The School of Health Sciences operates on both of Bangor University's campuses, in Bangor and Wrexham. The Wrexham campus is dedicated to health sciences and is the base for the BSc Radiography course.[4]
There is a dedicated hall in Friodedd student villafe in Bangor for nursing and midwifery students.
