Paediatric nurses are responsible for providing specialist care to young children and work within the NHS, hospices, charities, community health centres, private clinics and schools.

Working in paediatrics means working in a team and your role will typically be working alongside paediatricians, other paediatric nurses and paediatric specialists assisting with observation, treatment, providing assistance with patient examinations as well as other typical nursing duties.
