Meeting the health and wellbeing needs of infants, children and young people, safely and effectively, requires a specific set of knowledge and skills. You need to be able to work with children and young people across the age range from 0-19 years, in close partnership with their families and carers, across a range of settings. You’ll also need to work in collaboration with a multitude of other health and social care professionals, to ensure the best possible physical and emotional health and wellbeing outcomes.
This is an important and highly valued area of nursing. As a children’s nurse your work in fostering healthy lifestyles in early years and adolescence will contribute to people’s health and wellbeing well into adulthood too. Through a 50/50 combination of theory and practice in a wide range of settings, you will gain knowledge of the physical, emotional and social development of children and young people, as well as the skills to promote healthy development. You’ll also learn to meet the physical and emotional needs of this group for a variety of clinical conditions and health challenges.
