Professor Joseph C. Manning MBE, PhD, RN, is Professor of Nursing and Child Health in the School of Healthcare, College of Life Sciences, at the University of Leicester. He holds a joint clinical-academic appointment with Nottingham Children’s Hospital, part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. A registered nurse in the child branch (RN), Manning earned his MNursSci (Hons), PGCert in Paediatrics, and PhD. His career trajectory includes roles as Charge Nurse in Paediatric Critical Care Outreach and Clinical Associate Professor at Nottingham Children’s Hospital before his 2023 appointment to the Leicester professorship. Manning is committed to advancing nursing science to enhance the care, experiences, and outcomes of children, young people, and families, particularly following critical illness.
Manning’s research programme centres on post-intensive care syndrome in paediatrics (PICS-p), for which he developed the seminal PICS-p framework published in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine in 2018, garnering over 500 citations. His work encompasses health outcomes for survivors and families, family-centred care in paediatric intensive care units, emotional health and well-being of children in acute care, and safe healthcare transitions. With over 2,670 citations on Google Scholar and more than £8 million in research grants secured, key publications include 'A core outcome set for pediatric critical care' (Critical Care Medicine, 2020), 'Nursing interventions to reduce medication errors in paediatrics and neonates: Systematic review and meta-analysis' (Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 2021), 'Long-term psychosocial impact reported by childhood critical illness survivors: A systematic review' (Nursing in Critical Care, 2014), and contributions to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines for Children (2026). He has earned the MBE in the Queen’s 2021 Birthday Honours for services to nursing, the Chief Nursing Officer for England Gold Lifetime Award, and was the first paediatric nurse awarded an NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic Lectureship in 2019. Manning provides strategic leadership in clinical academia, multidisciplinary research, and international roles, including President-Elect of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing Section.
A landmark University of Leicester study exposes support gaps for families post-PICU discharge, detailing PICS-p challenges and calling for coordinated care services.
