You will develop a diverse skill set enabling you to provide excellent nursing care and support to children, young people and their families. Their care needs change as they grow and develop and as a children's nurse you will play an important role in managing their specific care requirements until they transition to adult health care services. Our Children's Nursing curriculum is carefully designed to provide you with the theoretical knowledge required to be able to practice and communicate confidently and competently, whilst also giving you the opportunity to develop and refine your clinical skills in a safe environment before going onto clinical placement. Fundamental to this programme is assisting you to nurture strong partnerships with a child or young person and their family which is driven by effective communication and respect. You will develop the skills to enable children and young people to be meaningful participants in managing their own care.
The programme reflects the changing health care environment, where services are designed around the needs of children, young people, and their families, focusing on the whole child not just their illness. You will develop into a children's nurse who is adaptable and able to respond to the current and future needs of patients. |
