The clinical teaching suite is designed to provide an area where students and trainees have first class learning opportunities with an emphasis on acquiring clinical skills.
The suite is housed on the fourth floor of Ferguson House, St Helier Hospital. It is signposted from the stairs near the main entrance to Ferguson House and also via the central stairwell.
The Baroness Cumberlege of Newick officially opened the suite in November 2000. The manager of the suite is Jennifer Swaby, who was appointed in March 2001.
