Guidance: Voluntary standards for community children's nurse education and practice

The Community Children’s Nurse (CCN) role is highly complex and requires skills in negotiating, coaching, teaching and supporting the families and carers of babies, children and young people with disabilities, complex conditions, life-limiting conditions and those requiring palliative and end of life care. The Queens Nursing Institute (QNI) and QNI Scotland worked with leading experts in the UK to develop a set of standards to support children's community nurse (CCN) education and practice including a Specialist Practice Qualification (SPQ).  The standards were launched at the end of September 2018.
