Designed for self-paced study, the learning sessions explore an extremely broad range of topics, from clinical themes through to communication skills and dealing with ethical issues.

You can select sessions that are relevant to your role or specialist interests – working through the material whenever you have a few spare minutes. The content can be used for general reference, to refresh your knowledge and in preparation for face-to-face training.

Test your skills with real patient case studies

The content features many videos, images, animations and self-assessment exercises. Case studies enable you to reflect on real-life patient scenarios. You can read medical histories and watch videos of clinical consultations before answering questions on your observations. This enables you to test your diagnoses in the safety of a virtual setting.

The Paediatric elearning Programme is an essential resource for all healthcare professionals who work with children.
