Service user input in pre-registration children’s nursing education

Caroline Carter Senior lecturer in child health, Middlesex University
Kate Brown Principal lecturer in child health, Middlesex University

Caroline Carter and Kate Brown discuss the successes and challenges faced when implementing involvement in three main areas of pre-registration children’s nursing

The Nursing and Midwifery Council pre-registration standards include service user involvement in all aspects of the curricula, and the subject has been high on the healthcare agenda for more than a decade. In 2008, service user involvement in a pre-registration children’s nursing programme at a UK university was planned, implemented and further developed. The strategy was effective in recruiting and selecting students, but caution is needed to ensure the process is safe for all participants.
