This module includes theoretical and practice learning opportunities to enable the learner to:

• recognise the acutely ill and the potentially seriously unwell infant, child and young person
• understand and explain the physiology and pathophysiology underpinning acute illness in infants, children and young people
• initiate and maintain supportive therapies for the acutely ill infant, child and young person

In doing this it will prepare healthcare professionals to care for the infant, child or young person with high dependency needs requiring Level 1 Care (Department of Health 1997), and the stabilisation of the infant, child or young person needing respiratory support or Level 2 Care (Department of Health 1997) prior to transfer.
