News from ClinicalSkills.net- Procedures for Children

Our latest updates are all about infants and children! Becky Saul, author of the series on Pain Assessment and Management in Infants and Children has updated the three procedures:

Pain Assessment in infants and children
Patient-controlled analgesia
Nurse-controlled analgesia

The procedure on Patient-controlled analgesia has been reworked to provide a better flow through the information. And in all three of the procedures, there are masses of updated references.

We also have a new editor for the two procedures on Hygiene for Infants and Children:

Working with a baby in a cot
Bathing a baby

These have been taken over by Catherine Hewitt, Senior Lecturer in Children’s Nursing, London South Bank University.

If you’ve been working late this week, and particularly if you’ve been burning the midnight oil, you may have noticed that the website has been down for maintenance on a couple of evenings. I’m pleased to report that all the current work has been successfully completed and there’s a noticeable improvement in speed! Thank you very much for your patience while we’ve been carrying out this important upgrade to the server.

I’ll be back soon with more news, until then…
