because paediatric patients make up a significant proportion of patients. If you could sell it from an angle of understanding about emotional and cognitive development and understanding how to communicate with children at various developmental stages i think you could get something out of it. You could also gain understanding of how social and societal needs could affect the physical and emotional health of children and parents. Remember that holistic approaches to health are vogue, biomedical approaches are old hat.
Also you can explain how you were able to recognise that childcare is not just caring for the child but caring for the wider family unit and working with them to achieve x, y or z outcome for the child/children. But that is a little weaker than the first bit.
You have to remember that healthcare and social care are interlinked, and childcare is often part of social care needs. Not all healthcare happens in a hospital. Not all health needs are physical. There are different dimensions to and aspects of health, think physical, emotional, spiritual, social, societal all that ****.
of course that said, I am sure that a bit of hospital experience would be beneficial.
