UK Paediatrics

An International Medical Graduate Guide to entry into the UK workplace - National Health Service Paediatrics.

This book is centred upon the healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK), with a specific focus towards medical training within Paediatrics and Child Health.

Each chapter of this book has been written by a different author. Almost all are Paediatric doctors currently working in the United Kingdom who trained abroad - International Medical Graduates.

We chose each author for their special expertise in the area they write about. As such, each chapter has an individual style which reflects the person writing.

We hope you will enjoy the variety of knowledge, advice, recommendations, writing style and occasional anecdotes.

This book cannot be absolutely comprehensive; we have strived for a balance between detail and broad applicability. As you read, please do reflect on whether the material discussed in the book really applies to your situation, and adapt accordingly.

Please do not take anything in this book as the only way to do something; this is a guide to give you some introductory information when you are considering moving to, or first arriving in, the UK. This is an overview information guide and not an instruction manual.
