Biological basis of child health
Nursing Children and Young People is running a new anatomy and physiology CPD series that looks at some of the associated conditions children’s nurses will encounter in practice.
Lead author Kate Davies, a senior lecturer and advanced nurse practitioner, has put the series together with colleagues in practice and academia.
Each system of the body is being considered in the 15-part series and there are multiple-choice questionnaires to test your knowledge. It’s a fabulous resource for students and nurses in practice who want to update their knowledge and prepare for revalidation.
