Course summary
Would you describe yourself as caring and compassionate? Nursing could be the career for you. Combine theory and practical experience while exploring nursing for children. Gain eligibility to register as a qualified children’s nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Children’s nurses work in partnership with families to compassionately treat children and young people with acute and complex care needs, including life-limiting conditions.

Gain an understanding of the different settings in which you could be providing care, then develop your skills for the planning and delivery of interventions for positive health and wellbeing. Following graduation, you’ll be eligible to register as a qualified children’s nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
