Are you good with children? Able to offer reassurance to them and their parents or carers in times of need? Could you meet the challenges of a changing healthcare environment? Training as a children’s nurse will make you highly employable in one of the most rewarding professions.

You’ll learn how to deliver care to children with complex care needs, in hospital and in the community, helping them to live well, be healthy and overcome acute and life-changing events. You’ll also gain a broader awareness of the health and social care needs of adults, and how this influences the early years and life of children and young people.

Get the opportunity to practice what you’ve learnt on supervised work placements. By the time you graduate, you’ll have developed the skills you need to plan, coordinate and deliver care in a safe, compassionate and effective way. And you’ll be able to register as a qualified children’s nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Your future career

As a children’s nurse, you’ll have a wide choice of career options. Following registration as a children’s nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you can continue your career in a variety of settings, including specialist children’s hospitals, general hospitals and paediatric community services/teams.

Some of our MSc Nursing (Child) graduates go on to work in leadership, management, consultancy, education and research. There are also exciting opportunities for further professional development and specialism.
