Paediatric Recruitment
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health recruits to paediatric training posts in a number of ways:
Specialty Training (ST)
The majority of ST posts in paediatrics are recruited to via an annual recruitment round, coordinated by RCPCH. This round seeks to recruit trainees to levels ST1-4.

NTN Grid
The NTN grid is a scheme that allows trainees at Level 3 of their training (ST6-8/SpR years 3-5) to have the opportunity to sub-specialise in a specific area of paediatrics. Those who complete an approved programme of sub-specialist training will be eligible to enter on to the GMC's Specialist Register as a paediatrician (sub-specialist).
