The major focus of this module will be the holistic care of a neonate, child or young person undergoing a surgical procedure. An overview of childhood conditions which require surgical correction will be explored, along with the application of essential physiology of the major body systems and the systematic assessments of the child and neonate. This will allow the student to critically evaluate the evidence available for the care they provide. At the end of the module the student will be able to interpret physiological data, common investigations and initiate appropriate action. The student will examine and evaluate the role of the multi-disciplinary team in providing care throughout the patient journey for both a child and neonate.
