Welcome to the Faculty of Health, Social Care and 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. 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 simulations with industry-standard equipment to give students as realistic a learning experience as possible.
The Faculty’s main base is at Edge Hill University’s Ormskirk campus, but 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 hub for workers in the health and social care sector undertaking professional development study.

Research
We are committed to producing excellent research to inform evidence-based practice and the health and wellbeing of people locally, nationally and internationally.
Use the Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre (CSSC) facilities to learn necessary skills for your chosen course and take part in a range of simulation scenarios designed to replicate real-world conditions. They enable you to safely practice situations that you might be confronted with on placement or when qualified.
