Welcome Message


Professor Linda Johnston

Welcome to the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Queens University Belfast. The School delivers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the disciplines of nursing and midwifery. As a School within the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences, we are uniquely positioned to offer an innovative approach to interprofessional education using the latest technologies in simulated learning. We pride ourselves on offering programs that integrate theory and clinical practice, preparing our students to be sought after practitioners capable of delivering care around the globe. Our training partners include internationally-recognised clinical institutions, and ambulatory and community care services. Our students benefit from teaching by staff actively engaged in areas of speciality practice, and with the support of a personal tutoring scheme. There are numerous opportunities for student exchanges with our international partners and the School supports students to undertake activities of benefit to the broader Northern Ireland community.

Our research excellence is evidenced by our return in the 2008 RAE. With a multidisciplinary approach to our programs of research in the fields of maternal and child health and evaluation of complex interventions we are known for our PhD research training program conducted by internationally recognised researchers.

I invite you to explore the School’s website for information on our teaching and learning, our research activities and the facilities and supports we offer. You are welcome to contact staff for further information or general inquiries.
