The University of Cumbria’s (UoC) mission is to transform lives and livelihoods, now and for future generations, and to work with partners to address the demand for and support the delivery of higher-level nursing skills to England’s north west region and beyond.
The Covid-19 crisis has thrown a spotlight on the work of essential key public services staff – particularly those in medicine, nursing, teaching, allied health professions, social work and policing. And as the anchor institution for Cumbria, UoC plays a crucial role in educating and developing the key workers of tomorrow, including nurses.
Close working relationships with its local NHS partners are crucial to enabling Cumbria's nursing students to engage in appropriate clinical placements. The university develops and maintain these strong partnerships in a number of ways.
