As our profession evolves, this edition offers insights to help you grow, adapt and continue delivering the best possible care.
Emergency department nurses share the skills that matter most for trainees transitioning to paediatric emergency medicine (PEM) consultants. We also explore how Flexible Portfolio Training (FPT) can benefit paediatric trainees, highlighting how alternative training routes can support both professional growth and work-life balance.
Dr Amina Al-Yassin shares data from a local enhanced services (LES) scheme designed to identify and address inequalities through preventive child health checks, and we examine a pilot education programme focused on children and young people’s mental health, exploring how targeted training can build confidence and address knowledge gaps across acute teams.
Finally, Dr Neha Sharma offers guidance on navigating the Portfolio Pathway to achieve specialist recognition, sharing practical strategies, resources and encouragement for those undertaking the journey.
