COVID-19 update
The pandemic has caused disruption to medical education, training and assessment in the UK. We're committed to supporting paediatric trainees and those who deliver paediatric training in the UK.
We now have a broad range of online events and our free eLearning. We are now safely delivering our theory and clinical exams, and we have guidance on trainee progression. We've also produced principles to minimise disruption where trainees are redeployed to adult services.
We also have a guidance on paediatric services, staffing/rotas and collecting data on cases, as well as summaries of the current evidence - you can find it all on our COVID-19 hub.
