Biography
Twelve years on a ward, then a ward built for teaching
Helena Marsh trained as a nurse, ran the paediatric ward of the county hospital for twelve years and joined the college in 2014 to design the first simulation ward: two beds, two mannequins that breathe and answer, and an instructor's room behind the glass. There are two wards now and every health programme starts in them.
She became director of the nursing programme in 2018 and dean of the school in 2022. She still works the paediatric ward on Thursdays, which is where most of her Friday lectures come from.
