About LJMU
At Liverpool John Moores University, our students thrive because of the people who teach, guide, and inspire them, we truly make a difference. Every year, our commitment to exceptional education attracts talented students from across the UK and the world.

About the School of Nursing, Public and Allied Health
The School of Nursing, Public and Allied Health has been committed to advancing developments in health and social care for over 25 years, tracing our origins back to 1991 when the Liverpool School of Nursing and Midwifery joined with Liverpool Polytechnic. Today, we continue to strive to tackle health inequalities, social exclusion, and deprivation in local communities (and beyond) through our undergraduate and postgraduate curricula and a growing programme of international partnerships as well as providing both aspiring and experienced nursing and allied health professionals with the learning experiences and research opportunities needed to meet the demands of current and future healthcare landscapes.
We are a multi award-winning school, having won the Student Nursing Times Awards on three occasions since 2018.
