Paediatric Nurse Training Course

Thames College

This Paediatric Nurse course is a comprehensive training programme that integrates medical and psychological subjects essential for caring for children in a healthcare setting. Learners will study emergency response with Paediatric First Aid, Basic Cardiac Care, and Infection Control, which are essential in any child-related medical role. To understand children's emotional and behavioural conditions, learners will explore Child Psychology, ADHD Awareness, Autism, and Children's Mental Health, giving them insight into the challenges young patients may face.

Communication and therapeutic techniques are developed through Speech & Language Therapy, Play Therapy, and Observation Skills for Carers, helping learners create trust with young patients. Safeguarding and Child Protection, Child Neglect Awareness, and the Designated Safeguarding Lead modules prepare learners to act appropriately when a child's safety is at risk.

Technical areas such as Medical Terminology, Medical Jargon for Healthcare Assistants, and Phlebotomy Technician Training support learners in navigating clinical environments effectively. Additionally, Consent Training in Healthcare ensures learners can work ethically and legally within a paediatric context.

By completing this course, learners will be prepared for roles in hospitals, paediatric units, children's homes, educational support, and community outreach programmes. The diverse range of modules supports both clinical competence and compassionate care, making this course highly valuable for anyone aiming to work with children in a medical or care environment.
