Developing Expertise in BCYP's Emergency Department Care (CEmNT)

Paediatric Emergency Nursing Education teams from Evelina London, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust, and the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, have come together to develop a BCYPs emergency nursing/AHP course.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced emergency nurses/ AHPS caring for BCYPs in the emergency department, to develop their skills when assessing and caring for BCYPs presenting in ED requiring medical or psycho-social care; including minor injuries, critical care, and major trauma.

Who is this module intended for?

• Experienced paediatric ED nurses/AHPs- minimum 1 year caring for BCYPs in ED.
• Adult ED nurses who regularly care for BCYPs in ED and have completed the paediatric section of the RCN Emergency Nursing Competencies (Level 1).

About the course

To ensure our learners feel confident in the delivery of BCYP emergency care we will use a blended approach of:

• Live and pre-recorded webinars
• Virtual group discussions, group work, and simulation
• Online activities
• Self-study
• Portfolio assessment

The topics covered in this course and related activities are separated down into learning blocks which usually last approximately 2 weeks. Each block has a ‘JOIN’ day, which is a virtual classroom day to focus on the application of the learning from the block.

Participants will be assessed by a presentation and clinical focused reflections.
