Wayne added: “The School of Nursing Studies is an amazing facility and, with the support it is receiving from Norfolk County Council, it will continue to grow into one of the best in the country. The facilities provide a great opportunity to develop essential skills, but it is the tutors who make the course truly engaging and enjoyable.”
