A combined teaching facility for the schools of Medicine and
Nursing in the city’s West End is designed to place the University
of Adelaide at the forefront of international health education.
T
he new Clinical School building
for Medicine and Nursing is
being created in the heart of the
South Australian Health and Biomedical
Precinct (SAHBP) and modelled on
some of the world9s leading university
hospital precincts.
The initiative is helping to transform the

world-class clinical hub, building on more
than 130 years of collaboration with the
Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH).

collaborative learning to the next level,
supporting over 1500 students and 1000
clinicians and researchers.

the positive culture that exists with the
RAH in the current Frome Road precinct.
