Children and young people’s nursing not only involves the child or young person but includes the wider family and community. Good verbal and non-verbal communication skills are vital, as well as the ability to engage with patients sensitively and minimise distress for all concerned.

You will deal with a diverse range of health and social problems which may include long term conditions, complex physical, congenital or genetic problems, as well as public health issues such as immunisation, trauma and mental health problems.
