Summary
Provide help, care, and compassion for those who need it most. Children’s Nursing Pg Dip/MSc will give you the skills, confidence and professional experience needed to be an effective healthcare worker, helping you to apply the foundations of expert care in a paediatric setting.
"I love being on the wards, interacting with the children and the parents. You encounter so much, both the happy and sad. It is a life experience, independent of the clinical skills you acquire. I want to influence lives and help people grow in my community and you get a taste of that when you are on placement" Charlie Kennedy, Children’s Nursing student.
You will learn from experienced nursing professionals who will help you put theory into practice, splitting your time equally between learning on campus or in clinic settings.

"The teaching at LSBU is always based on real-life applications of the theory. We have staff from a wide variety of children's nursing backgrounds that means modules are taught by people with expertise and special interests in that topic. This can help students make the links between theory and practice. "Dr Julia Harris – Registered Children’s Nurse and Senior lecturer.
Your time will be split equally between real clinical placements and learning in brand new on-campus clinical wards and laboratories, fully equipped with the latest technology.To give you as much confidence as possible we design our teaching labs to mimic real hospital wards and care environments, helping you seamlessly apply nursing skills to genuine patients. Above all though you will learn to effectively listen to patients, not just the children themselves but their parents and families as well, helping you to provide care with empathy, compassion, and effectiveness.
"I would recommend the Children’s Nursing course at LSBU because its educators are people that really care about the fundamentals of nursing – they want everyone to succeed. The lecturers are also trying to innovate the syllabus; they are all leaders in their own fields and are pushing what inclusivity means in Higher education. The course itself links students to a host trust, so you will have unique training throughout the 3 years." Sam Palmer, Children’s Nursing student.

Summary
Children's nurses care for children and young people from birth to 18 years old in hospital and in the community. Children and young people can present with a range of conditions, from birth defects, accidents and injuries, to life-limiting or critical illnesses or which can result in the death of a child. Children's nurses work in partnership with the child/young person, their parents and carers, involving them in the planning and delivery of their child's care and treatment. Children's nurses, in collaboration with other professionals, strive to promote health in children and young people to ensure they enter into adulthood in good health.
This innovative and intensive two-year course aimed at students with an existing degree (2:2 or above) will equip you with the knowledge and skills to assess and manage the nursing care needs of children and families, including those with acute and long-term conditions. The course will also develop your abilities to consider the wider aspects influencing children's health needs, preparing you for future leadership in a changing and challenging health care system.
You'll experience a variety of clinical settings such as NHS acute Trusts, community placements, independent sector and voluntary sector organisations. Practice experience is gained in several world-renowned central and outer London hospitals including:
Barts Health NHS Trust Evelina London Children's Hospital Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust Variety Children's Hospital at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust You will be allocated one of these hospitals as your host Trust during the course.
