MSc Nursing Child

The MSc Nursing (Child) at John Moores University will prepare students to work in partnership with patients and carers. Students will learn to communicate effectively with children and young people, many of whom have complex communication and care needs. Throughout the course, students will be supported by the clinical and academic team to develop, implement, and evaluate plans of care. They will also be given the opportunity to work across different healthcare settings and boards.

Children and young people receive nursing care in a range of settings, including home, school and hospital. The programme therefore provides students with a wide range of practice placements in order to understand the healthcare experience of children and young people.
