Consulting children and young people on what makes a good nurse.
Health and education agencies collaborated in a hospital's special school to ask children what made a 'good' nurse. Eleven children aged between 11 and 14 years took part and described the 'good' nurse as having a professional persona and the ability to connect with them, delivering timely and effective care and being respectful of children's dignity. The results are now being used in an undergraduate children's nursing curriculum.
