Health News: Northern Ireland - Children help form nursing standards

Children and young people in Northern Ireland will be given the chance to feed into the development of nursing standards this month, in a new initiative from the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The roadshow, one of four that will be travelling throughout the UK, will gather feedback from children and young people, families and carers, nurses working with children, nurse educators, voluntary organisations and employers.

The initiative is part of work by the regulatory body, which draws up the standards that underpin nursing qualifications, to revise how nurses interpret the code of professional conduct around children and young people's issues.

She said sessions would ask groups what they thought a nursing role should consist of, and how they thought nurses should act.
