Nurs Child Young People

Published: January 2025

Children and young people's (CYP) nursing leaders have experienced considerable challenges in the context of a complex health and social care system with rapidly changing organisational structures, including the establishment of integrated care systems in England on 1 July 2022. The CYP nursing lead at NHS England commissioned a review of CYP organisational structures in emerging integrated care systems across England. The review encompassed a vision for CYP services, leadership, governance structures and opportunities for progression. A proforma was used to collate data from CYP trusts, CYP standalone hospitals and children's wards in district general hospitals. Qualitative interviews were also undertaken with senior children's nurses. At the same time, the first author of this article interviewed senior children's nurses as part of a Florence Nightingale Foundation leadership scholarship. The aim was to explore how they navigated their leadership journey and understand what advice they may give to future leaders in CYP nursing. The findings in this article identify 'what good looks like' in terms of CYP nursing leadership. Six recommendations for future development and enhancement of CYP nursing leadership are outlined.

Dementia not only affects the person living with the condition but also their family and wider social circle. For that reason, it is important to educate family members, the wider public and health professionals. How a child and young people's (CYP) nurse supports and responds to a CYP whose family member has dementia or acts as a carer is of interest to pre-licensure (pre-registration) CYP nursing programs.

(1) Background: In the UK, mental health needs for children and young people (CYP) are rising, whilst access to care is declining, particularly in the North of England and post-COVID-19. However, Health Information Technologies (HITs) can simplify access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), reduce waiting times, and provide anonymous support and reliable information. (2) Methods: A single-centre prospective observational study examined the impact of "CYP as One"-a digital referral point to CAMHS-on waiting times and referral rejection rates.

The CYP33 family in Caenorhabditis elegans is integral to processes like xenobiotic detoxification, eicosanoid regulation, nanotoxicity response and spermatogenesis. Limited research on C. elegans CYP33 suggests its functions are similar to human CYP33, indicating conserved roles in metabolism and disease.
