Cavendish House

Cavendish House is home to our School of Radiology. Here you will find students of Radiology and Medical Ultrasound, either studying, working and or researching in our ultrasound suites, mock ward, digital x-ray clinic. We have some really impressive equipment here including the VERT (virtual environment of a radiotherapy treatment simulator) and Samsung and AGFA Clinical rooms to name a few.

Clinical skill labs for both our Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation students also take place here and are located across the various technique rooms. A breadth of mobility aid equipment and therapy apparatus is on hand for practical patient handling classes.

Sports Gym

Our recently refurbished student gym is located just next to cavendish house and contains some really top of the line equipment. Our student’s union worked really hard to upgrade the facilities here, and now we have a truly state-of-the-art gym suitable for even the most competitive athletes (of which we have a few!) Here you can expect to see students keeping fit, training for events or together as part of one of our many sports clubs.

There are also multiple bike storage locations for cyclists.
