The aim of the Interactive Studies Unit (ISU) is to offer teaching of the highest quality in communication and related areas for health professionals: and to undertake research of the highest quality, which can inform our teaching and educational understanding.

In the last 12 months, over 2000 students and health professionals in medicine, nursing and dentistry have been on ISU Programmes.

We are a multi-disciplinary team with backgrounds in medicine, nursing, education, linguistics, drama, literature and ethics - amongst others.
