Celebrating 30 Years of Nursing at Christ Church

 

In 2019 we celebrated 30 years of nursing at Canterbury Christ Church University. Since 1989, we have trained thousands of nurses in the fields of adult, child and mental health nursing.

Our graduates have gone on to careers within the local health and social care workforce and further afield, both nationally and internationally, in a variety of roles and settings.

We are celebrating the achievements of our alumni, staff and current students, finding out what they love most about nursing and discovering where their careers as nurses have taken them.
