Content is checked against NICE guidance, National PEWS documentation, BNFc-aligned dosing and current safeguarding guidance — referenced, not assumed.
Written for UK children's nursing students and NQNs — National PEWS, NICE pathways, the Children Act and Gillick/Fraser frameworks, not a generic or US-aligned guide.
This guide doesn't cover individual drug dosing, neonatal intensive care, or full resuscitation algorithms — and says so. It's a revision aid, not a clinical decision tool.

The free guidance is real and you should still read it — NICE, RCPCH and your trust's own resources are the actual source material. What PaedsPocketbook does is bring the parts that matter most on placement into one consistent, sourced, A5 reference, instead of piecing it together from a dozen different PDFs at 11pm before a shift.
It's a digital download delivered instantly, so all sales are final. That's exactly why the free cheat sheet exists — download it first to see the structure, sourcing style and tone before deciding.
No. PaedsPocketbook is an independent revision aid and is not endorsed, produced or approved by NICE, the RCPCH, the NMC, the BNF for Children, or any NHS organisation.
No. Not every UK trust uses the same PEWS chart, and exact cut-offs vary. This guide teaches the structure and logic of escalation — always use the specific chart in use on your placement.
No. Section 05 teaches the calculation method using a worked example, but medicine-specific dosing should always be checked against the current BNF for Children.
It's a 34-page A5 PDF, delivered instantly to your email after purchase. Print it, or keep it on your phone or tablet for placement. No subscription — it's yours to keep.
