What was happening in the late 1990s when the School of Nursing was established? Learn about the history surrounding its opening.

Teaching nursing alongside medicine and pharmacy gave students an understanding of how each professional contributes to patient care.

Initially, the main focus of the School of Nursing was postgraduate education to allow for the development of advanced nursing roles.

The establishment of strong clinical partnerships with Auckland City Hospital assisted the school to develop robust teaching and placement programmes.

From the beginning, research was a priority for the School of Nursing, who expended considerable effort to develop and promote staff and student research.
