An introduction to the art and science of nursing in general but also containing the specifics of Children and Young People’s Nursing and family-centred care. The university will source two 10-week placements for you5. One will be within a paediatric acute care setting and another within the community. All students must be able to travel across Coventry and Warwickshire as this is our main placement area.

Within one placements students may also undertake virtual simulated practice. This involves group working within understanding local community issues and health service planning, online simulated patient scenarios for students to work through and undertake assessment within and paediatric focused clinical skills and scenarios. Service users are also involved, providing feedback upon case study presentations.
