Overview
Our registered nurse programme for child branch is underpinned by The Nursing and Midwifery Council new national educational standards – Future Nurse Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses (2018). This ensures that you will be qualifying with knowledge and skills to deliver safe and effective care, which is responsive to the changing climate in children and young people’s nursing.
Children’s nurses play a pivotal role in acute and community healthcare settings. A family-centred care approach underpins interventions aimed at health prevention, promotion, detection of illness and implementing evidence-based care, which acknowledges key differences pertinent to the child and young person.
As a children’s nurse you will develop expert communication skills and an understanding of cognitive development and how this influences both childhood perception of illness and care delivery.
You need to be highly committed, patient and have a caring and compassionate manner. If you want to be a part of the journey that shapes and influences the health of our future generations, apply to be a children’s nurse.

Uniform and dress code policy
This course includes acute and community based placements; these are an essential component for completion of the course. Whilst on placement, students must adhere to the uniform and dress code policy of the placement provider. NHS Trusts and other placement providers have given careful consideration to cultural and religious needs relating to uniform policies / dress codes.
These policies/codes have been developed in conjunction with local and national cultural and religious bodies to ensure that local and national infection control guidance is adhered to. Whilst every attempt has been made to accommodate individual needs, there are some areas where the need to fully comply with infection control guidance has overridden religious requirements.
