Postgraduate teaching qualifications

There are a number of courses available both locally and via distance learning, from Certificate to Masters level and we would encourage any interested trainee or consultant to consider one of these courses. The MSc course in Child Health includes some teaching and training skills. Consultants should consider the Paediatric Educators Programme run by the RCPCH.
