WelcomeThe ABPN is the oldest children's nursing association in the world, established in 1938.
Our wide membership includes experts in clinical practice, education, leadership, and research. We aim to promote the development of children's nursing through evidence-based information about practice and education. We are an active association that works with its members to influence policy and to lobby for the best educational opportunities for pre- and post-registration education, and to improve services for infants, children, and young people. |
