Introduction
A key objective of the ABPN is to promote the art and science of children and young people’s nursing, and to provide facilities for nurses to further their education, skills, and personal and professional development in caring for the needs of sick and well children and young people and their families.
The ABPN believe that this objective can be achieved through the sharing and dissemination of experiences and practices in children’s and young people's nursing care.
To this end the ABPN are pleased to announce the availability of the following scholarships, awards & prizes:
1. ABPNWellChild Scholarship 2010

WellChild and ABPN are pleased to announce the availability of a £1000 scholarship with the intention to promote the art and science of children and young people’s nursing in relation to an aspect of improving the care of children and young people in the community setting
