Casey's Model of Nursing was developed in 1988 by Casey whilst working on the Paediatric Oncology Unit at the
Great Ormond Street Hospital London . The focus of the model is on working inpartnership with children and their families, and was one of the earliest attempts to develop a model of practice specifiaclly forchild health nursing . The model has been developed in other areas ofEngland to focus upon local aspects of practice.It comprises the five concepts of child, family, health, environment and the
nurse . The philosophy behind the model is that the best people to care for the child is the family with help from various professional staff. Another paediatric nursing model developed by Smith in "Children's nursing in practice: The Nottingham Model" emphasizes the family as client; but Casey's Model sees the child as the client.
