Assessing pain in children and young people: a guide for primary care nurses.
Harris J . Practice Nursing 2026;37(6):242-245.
[Painful procedures are common in children's healthcare and must be managed carefully to minimise distress, prevent long-term fear and maintain trust between children, families and healthcare professionals. Children's ability to perceive, interpret and communicate pain varies with age and cognitive ability, and effective assessment involves a thorough history, supported by structured tools and the use of validated, age-appropriate pain measurement scales.]
