Welcome to the North West
School of Paediatrics
|
Introduction:
The Deanery School of Paediatrics aims to provide a comprehensive high-quality teaching and education programme for those interested in training in paediatrics. Training in paediatrics in this deanery follows a syllabus set by The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and takes account of national guidance by the General Medical Council.
The School of Paediatrics also provides strategic leadership for the recruitment of trainees to paediatric specialties. It arranges for the recruitment and induction of trainees from the Foundation Programmes into Specialty Training posts and arranges for the allocation of trainees to run-through rotations in Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 that are appropriate for their training needs.
The School of Paediatrics also oversees the quality of Paediatric training posts in conjunction with the RCPCH tutors, the Postgraduate Clinical Tutors and Directors of Medical Education.
The School of Paediatrics also:
- Oversees the Higher Specialty Training (Level 3) schemes in general paediatrics and the various paediatric specialties within and ensures that there are educational opportunities to meet the standards required by the RCPCH.
- Ensures the provision of appropriate courses for examination preparation, the acquisition of essential competencies and general professional development.
- Gives guidance about the appropriateness of courses to trainees in paediatrics at their various stages of development.
- Assesses the progress of trainees, maintains appraisal systems for trainees and supervises their summative assessments.
- Ensures adequate provision of career advice supported by up-to-date information on career opportunities.
- Ensures that there is provision for potential progression into an academic career and for flexible training.
The RCPCH runs examinations, organises courses and conferences, issues guidance on clinical and other issues relating to the welfare of children. It also has a major role in setting and maintaining professional standards. It was founded in 1996 but traces its origins back to the British Paediatric Association, founded in 1928, which acted as a focus for professional activity in the field of paediatrics prior to the formation of the College.
