The teaching of clinical skills within nursing is currently enjoying a resurgence following the implementation of the
‘Fitness for Practice Curriculum’. However, the teaching of clinical skills specifically within children’s nursing has
received little attention within the research arena. This article presents the data of a national postal survey sent to
United Kingdom institutions providing pre-registration child branch studies, to ascertain the current provision of
clinical skills teaching. The findings conclude that very few institutions have invested in specific skills laboratories
to teach children’s nursing students. It was also identified that a wide range of clinical skills are taught to child
branch students; however, the resources and realism to clinical practice is limited by the lack of specialist children’s
skills laboratories or equipment. In conclusion the authors recommend the development of child specific skills
laboratories, to augment child branch skills teaching, in order to enhance the realistic simulation of clinical practice.

nurses would be valuable...
