Children's Nursing (Pre-registration) (Taught)

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. Through our professional connections and partnerships, there is the opportunity to train with community-focused initiatives, independent and voluntary organisations, or an NHS Trust, who will host you for clinical placement portion of your degree.

We are proud to partner with:

• 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

“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.
