Biological basis of child health
Nursing Children and Young People's 15-part anatomy and physiology CPD series examines the associated conditions children’s nurses will encounter in practice.
Each system of the body is considered and every article is accompanied by a CPD multiple-choice questionnaire to test your knowledge, that can be added to your revalidation portfolio as evidence of personal CPD.
Lead author Kate Davies, a senior lecturer and advanced nurse practitioner, put the series together with colleagues in practice and academia, and all the articles are evidence-based and peer-reviewed.
