The modules offered are grounded in a body of evidence-based knowledge that promotes excellence in contemporary nursing practice.
The course provides advanced study in research methods, the theoretical and practical aspects of management, clinical practice and leadership and child health perspectives as well as contemporary issues in child health and wellbeing.
This course is designed for current registered nurses who wish to develop their knowledge in children’s health, illness, and child wellbeing.

Graduates can be expected to provide quality nursing care and promote and develop excellence in their practice setting. In applying their learning, they will identify and address the need to integrate high quality care delivery with societal and healthcare demands in rapidly changing environments; this is critical to meeting service-user and healthcare service needs.
