Child Health in Leeds

The STEPP Programme

The Yorkshire school of Paediatrics was formed in 2007 following the significant restructuring of medical training. In 2009 the West Yorkshire and Humber merged with South Yorkshire to establish a deanery wide school of Paediatrics for the Yorkshire and Humber. The school is responsible for the coordination and planning of high quality training and assessment programmes.

Currently in this locality Yorkshire paediatric trainees will be enrolled in the STEPP (ST Education Programme) from ST year 1-3 and the MSc Child Health at the University of Leeds from ST4-6.

Each unit is 4 days long in total. The first half of the unit (2 days) are taught on consecutive days, repeated within 5 weeks and the second half of the unit (2 days) are also on consecutive days repeated again within 5 weeks.
