PREPARATION FOR YOUR FIRST WEEK

Please don’t go out and buy lots of text books; each unit will have a reading list and the vast majority of material is digital. The libraries are well stocked and if you do find a favourite text book then look at Ebay or Amazon for second hand copies.

If you really do want to buy some textbooks then there are some Child and Young People’s Nursing Textbooks that we find helpful:

• Glasper, A., Richardson, J. and Randall, D. (2021) A Textbook of Children and Young People’s Nursing. 3rd edn. Scotland: Elsevier.

• Peate, I. and Gormley-Fleming, E. (2021) Fundamentals of Children and Young People’s Anatomy and physiology. 2nd edn. Oxford: Wiley Blackwell.

• Gormley-Fleming, E. and Peate, I. (2019) Fundamentals of Children’s Applied Pathophysiology. Oxford: Wiley Blackwell.

• Bruce, E.A, Williss, J. and Gibson, F. (eds) (2023) The Great Ormond Street Hospital Manual of Children and Young People’s Nursing Practices. 2nd edn. West Sussex: Wiley Blackwell.

• RCN (2021) Children and Young People’s Nursing: A Philosophy of Care. www.rcn.org.uk/ProfessionalDevelopment/publications/rcn-cypphilosophy-of-care-uk-pub-009433
