London School of Paediatrics
London is the biggest School of Paediatrics in the UK and we have more than a thousand trainees, training in 32 trusts across the city. As with every School in the UK, we deliver the training that the RCPCH (https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/) mandates, bringing trainees to consultant level.
More information on the curriculum can be found here. (https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/education-careers/training-assessment/progressplus)
Our ST1-4 (Core Paediatrics) trainees are divided into 3 sector-based programmes – South London (SL), North West London (NWL) and North Central and East London (NCEL).
Our ST 5-7 (Higher Specialist Paediatrics) trainees are within a single PAN-London programme.
Trainees spend the first 4 years (whole time equivalent) of training based in a particular sector. All London trainees have access to the wide range of educational opportunities offered to all trainees. More can be found about these on the trainee’s website. (https://londonpaediatrics.co.uk/trainees-committee/education6/)
The School is run by a partnership between NHS-E WTE directorate, a number of Training Programme Directors (TPDs) (https://londonpaediatrics.co.uk/trainees-home/) – Paediatricians with a particular expertise and interest in training - and the trainees themselves. The Trainees Committee (TC) of the London School of Paediatrics hosts various sub-groups (https://londonpaediatrics.co.uk/trainees-committee/) that focus on training issues and contribute to simulation, regional training, academic training and the development of the programme.
