Is children’s healthcare back on the map for good or just for the summer?

Christine Walker @RCNi_Christine Editor, Nursing Children and Young People

It was announced, for example, that the human papillomavirus vaccine is about to be extended to 12 to 13-year-old boys in England, Wales and Scotland, with Northern Ireland likely to follow suit.
