Nursing (Children and Young People)

University of East Anglia UEA

On this Children and Young People’s Nursing course, you’ll discover the health and wellbeing needs of children and young people and learn how to give growing minds and bodies the care and support they need. You’ll explore developmental anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, and discover the emotional and social development needs of children and young people too. You’ll learn how to care for the unwell, as well as how to promote healthy development and prevent physical and mental ill health. Your Children and Young People’s Nursing degree will prepare you for essential nursing practice, working in partnership with children, young people and their families, providing care to those with acute, long-term and complex and disabling healthcare conditions and needs. This includes mental health care, as younger people living with long-term conditions are vulnerable to developing emotional disorders. As well as learning how to care for children and young people who are unwell, you’ll also learn how to help them and those who care for them to foster healthy behaviours contributing to their health and wellbeing into adulthood.
