Who we are and what we do

We are the RCN’s Children and Young People Specialist Care Forum. This includes specialist care such as- Cancer, Diabetes, Endocrine, Obesity, Neonatal. We regularly engage and represent the RCN at national meetings to ensure the Nursing voice helps to influence policy and practice changes. By bringing Children and Young People’s Nurses who work in these services together with National stakeholders, we have developed guidelines that are used in everyday practice. We are also a place for those working or interested in these areas of work to seek support, network, learn and develop.
