Pathophysiology for children and young people’s care - clear, current, compassionate
Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Applied Pathophysiology introduces the pathophysiology of the child, exploring how disease and illness affect normal anatomy and physiology. This revised Second Edition reflects contemporary practice, with updated evidence and a stronger emphasis on inclusive care. It offers expanded representation of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities, alongside new content on access to care, health inequalities, gender, and the inclusion of LGBTQI+ individuals. Each chapter features case studies designed to stimulate reflection and deepen understanding, helping readers connect theory to practice in meaningful ways.
Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Applied Pathophysiology includes: - Fully updated chapters reflecting the latest developments in practice and advances in children’s health care, with new chapters on trauma and rehabilitation, blood disorders, mental health, and end of life care
- Rich learning features include case studies, PEWS examples, and investigations boxes, with multiple-choice questions now available on the companion website—designed to foster active engagement and critical thinking
- Multidisciplinary and inclusive perspective, recognising the diverse contexts of care and the vital role of healthcare students in contemporary teams
- Flexible structure and visual aids that promote curiosity, deeper understanding, and a child- and family-centred approach to care
Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Applied Pathophysiology equips healthcare students and practitioners with the essential understanding, knowledge, and skills to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care to children and their families.
