3.
Synthesise child protection and safeguarding principles with age-specific
advanced management of unwell infants, children and young people in acute care settings, including those who have Gastroenterological, Haematological and Dermatological problems, Burns and Trauma,
4.
Critically evaluate the research evidence base regarding the assessment, diagnosis and advanced management of acutely unwell infants, children and young people including those who have Gastroenterological, Haematological and Dermatological problems, Burns and Trauma.
