Paediatrics and Child Health
Training in Paediatrics and Child Health in Wales
The Wales School for Paediatrics and Child Health was established in 2007 and works closely with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to provide the highest quality paediatric training and education.
There are over 160 trainees on the programme, undertaking placements in general paediatrics, neonatology and sub-specialty areas including oncology, neurology, respiratory, community, renal, gastroenterology, PICU, endocrinology, cardiology, emergency medicine and palliative care.
The training programme lasts for up to eight years, with successful trainees achieving their CCT in general paediatrics. Trainees are encouraged to undertake royal college examinations at the earliest opportunity in their training and are supported with their academic activities both in Wales and across the rest of the UK. The School provides individual careers advice and helps trainees develop important management skills in preparation for their consultant appointments.
The School maintains close contact with educational supervisors and college tutors in each health board, ensuring that training closely follows the standards set by the royal college. There are also lead consultants for education, less-than full time training, performance and quality assurance.
