Clinical Skills for Children’s Nursing: A Key to Effective Care

Clinical skills are essential in providing high-quality care for children and young people.

This comprehensive resource covers all aspects of children’s nursing, from the fundamentals of everyday practice to advanced care in high dependency and intensive care settings. As such, its relevance and usefulness extend beyond those newly registered; it remains a valuable resource for experienced nurses seeking to further expand their nursing skills.
