Children differ physiologically, emotionally and developmentally so therefore require individual care. You will explore the anatomical and physiological differences in children; normal child development; ethical, legal and professional issues in caring for children and young people; paediatric pharmacology including pain management; communicating and engaging with children; spotting the sick child; paediatric resuscitation; mental health; the injured child and medical and surgical conditions seen in children.
