It's a key change in how we as the future health professionals will develop and collaborate.
Nursing and medicine are very similar but completely different at the same time.
We're not in the same location and it does make things hard.
I think the new building will just make it 10 times easier and more effective for the future
because they are our future colleagues, we will be working with them to provide the best care.
The new school will have great facilities, new state-of-the-art equipment and it will be a great
conducive environment for me to learn, which will help me refine my skills
to provide my patients with the best care possible.
I was here when the Robin Warren Clinical skills facility was being built
and I saw how much of a difference that actually made to how we actually learn
because they were hospital wards in the University which was an incredible thing to behold.
The students of the future will now be able to go from our building
through SAHMRI to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital
weaving together education, research and clinical practice.
This is about transforming the health care workforce of the future
but it's also transforming the experience of the student’s that come through that.
In addition it’s going to house five big research themes that will cut across one another
and work together across those different themes to represent the bulk of our research strengths within our faculty.
The Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences Building will be great because it gives nursing students
the opportunity to learn skills and knowledge from high quality staff in the best facilities,
as well as working alongside our future colleagues to provide the best care possible for our future patients
which is why I’ve become a nurse.
I'm really excited about the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences Building
because from the start we've been instilled with patient-centred care
and this is a very important aspect of dentistry,
and it will also be a great learning environment that is very conducive for us to refine our skills
and for us to be the best dentists that we could possibly be.
The way we learn medicine nowadays - it's a much more modern process
with a lot of collaboration not only between older students
and between clinicians from different areas, but also other health disciplines like nursing,
dentistry and allied health, as well as the research component of it.
I guess one of the great things about the course here at Adelaide
is we’re having this new building which is such close proximity
to the new Royal Adelaide in this biomedical health precinct,
where I’ll be shadowing junior doctors in the morning
and in the afternoon we’re here teaching students.
It’s one of the things I'm looking forward to.
