Overview

We bring together strong links to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children with our setting within the powerful teaching and research environment of University College London (UCL).

This Paediatrics and Child Health - Intensive Care programme will give you both practical experience and academic insight into several areas of intensive care paediatrics.

You will learn the theory behind current approaches, whilst also exploring the latest research that is driving the speciality forward.

This focus makes the programme of value to both general paediatricians and potential intensivists.

Who this course is for

The programme is designed for doctors, nurses and associated professionals in clinical roles within acute paediatric environments. Learning will provide:

An excellent foundation for trainees looking to enter paediatric intensive care medicine training
An introduction to research methods and techniques for those seeking an academic career in PICM

High-quality continuing professional development for those already in this field

Employability

It is expected that most of the medically qualified graduates from this pathway will pursue a career involving paediatric intensive care medicine in the UK or abroad. This may be as a general paediatrician with an interest in intensive care or as a specialist intensivist. Nurses and associated professionals are likely to be looking for career progression into senior posts in PICM in both clinical and management roles.
