Who we are
A college built around clinical competence
CONAHST prepares nurses and allied health professionals through classroom teaching, supervised practice in the skills laboratory, and clinical placement in partner health facilities. Teaching follows the syllabus of the Nursing & Midwifery Council of Sierra Leone.
Our graduates register with the Council and go on to practise in community clinics, district hospitals and the wider health service.

Mission
Train. Heal. Lead.
Sierra Leone needs more nurses, and it needs nurses who are ready on their first day. That is the standard the college holds itself to: not simply that students pass, but that they can practise safely and confidently when they reach the ward.
We keep cohorts at a size where teaching staff know every student, and where practice in the laboratory is supervised rather than watched.
