Paediatrics and Child Health University of Buckingham

Overview

This online Paediatrics and Child Health programme provides a broad and practical overview of child health, covering key areas from the prenatal period through to adolescence. With a strong emphasis on prevention, early intervention, and population health, the curriculum explores a wide range of paediatric conditions alongside the wider factors that influence children's health and wellbeing. The inclusion of a dedicated global child health module further broadens your understanding of paediatric care in different healthcare settings and populations.

You'll also develop a more holistic understanding of child health, incorporating psychosocial factors, safeguarding considerations, and mental health into your clinical decision-making to support better outcomes for children and young people.
