Overview

While paediatric specialists are in short supply in developed nations like the UK, they are even more scarce in developing nations that are experiencing severe healthcare shortages. According to the World Health Organisation, more than half of child deaths are due to conditions that could be easily prevented or treated if given access to proper health care.

By studying our 1 year part-time, Paediatrics and Child Health (Online) at Learna - Diploma MSc, you can advance your skills and knowledge and be provided with the opportunity to become a paediatrics specialist. Through our paediatrics diploma, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the physiological, developmental, and psychological aspects of paediatric patients. Ultimately empowering individuals, families, and communities to make informed choices and adopt behaviours that support overall health. Delivered by skilled child health experts who are exceptionally experienced in the field, therefore maximising active learning opportunities.

Since our courses are conducted entirely online, they are accessible to both UK and international registered healthcare professionals.
Applicants will typically hold a first degree or equivalent (including international qualifications) in a relevant professional healthcare field, such as a medical or nursing degree.
Registered healthcare professionals without these recognised qualifications will be considered on an individual basis and a wide range of prior experience may be taken into account. In some cases, applicants may be asked to submit a piece of work for assessment in order to confirm that they are able to work comfortably at postgraduate level, and demonstrate the requisite clinical and professional knowledge.
