**Start your nursing career at the University of Leeds.** At Leeds, we offer an innovative curriculum, delivered by experts who translate their research into active clinical practice. Ranked 2nd in Yorkshire and the Humber for nursing and midwifery, we'll provide you with the outstanding education you need to grow and develop as a nurse. Our nursing course is child-focused and family-centred, and we need people who want to keep children healthy and safe, and who are caring, courageous and compassionate. Throughout your degree, we’ll help you develop the qualities that define a Leeds child nurse – intuitive, empathetic communicators who are committed advocates for children, young people, and families. We’re proud to have an innovative team with a range of clinical, academic and research interests, who deliver an exciting and engaging degree. Studying at Leeds means you’ll experience our first-rate clinical skills facilities with a dedicated children’s ward to prepare you for rewarding placements in some of the best teaching hospitals in Europe, including St James’s University Hospital and on our doorstep, Leeds Children’s Hospital at Leeds General Infirmary, in areas such as neonates, oncology, neurology and children’s A&E. We’re also a research intensive school, meaning you’ll have access to internationally-regarded research before it’s in the wider domain, giving you a distinctive advantage in your professional life.

In year 1 you’ll be introduced to the fundamental concepts required to be a healthcare professional and key concepts related to children’s nursing. You’ll also consider who you are, your role as a nurse and ways in which you can enhance your own resilience. Throughout the year you’ll develop your skills in working with children, young people, and their families as well as members of the nursing team, the multi-disciplinary team, and wider agencies. By the end of year 1 you’ll be able to demonstrate, apply and reflect on the fundamental knowledge, skills and attitudes required for holistic care and caring. In year 2 there is a focus on working with individuals with long-term health conditions and children and young people with co-morbidities. You’ll consider how health promotion and health education can be used to empower individuals and their families to maximise their level of health and wellbeing. Care delivery throughout the lifespan will be considered including supporting children, young people and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and end of life care. You’ll also begin to develop your peer coaching skills. By the end of year 2 you’ll be able to apply your knowledge and skills to patients with increasingly complex conditions to enable optimal health and wellbeing. In year 3 you’ll apply your knowledge and understanding to children and young people who have complex and critical care needs. During this year you’ll be taught a range of advanced skills and have the opportunity to practice them. You’ll further develop your leadership and team working skills and you’ll be supported in your transition to the role of registered nurse. You’ll complete a 10,000-word dissertation that will enable you to critically focus on an area of patient care where there is scope for development. During the first placement in year 3 there you’ll have the opportunity to undertake a non-assessed placement abroad. Clinical placements are integral to the programme and are included within each year. These will enable you to gain expertise in different clinical environments including medicine, surgery, community and high dependency/critical care. Your placements will be within a variety of organisations including Leeds Children’s Hospital and Leeds Community Healthcare Trust. By the end of year 3 you’ll be able to evaluate and determine priorities for care delivery.

We use a range of assessment methods, including essays, posters, presentations, practical skills examinations and multiple-choice questions. You’ll need to demonstrate the knowledge and application of standard concepts, information and techniques, as well as your emerging abilities, skills and competencies. You’ll need to produce work that is typically both evaluative, analytical and creative and show you can conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within the discipline. You need to be able to draw on a wide variety of material and be able to evaluate and critique received opinion.
