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. While raising awareness of the problem will be helpful, improving access to postgraduate paediatric education is the only way to truly impact child health outcomes on a global scale.

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.
