* The Certificate in Child Health is run jointly by the University of Glasgow and NHS Education for Scotland.
* All four Scottish Deaneries have offered support to this programme, and will request that all paediatric trainees at Specialist Trainee point 4 or above complete this programme as part of their professional training.
* If you are a doctor in a training programme for paediatrics currently working as a Specialist Trainee (ST) in the UK, this programme is designed for you: in particular for ST trainees post-MRCPCH who are in ST years 3, 4 or 5. The programme may also be useful for suitably qualified overseas applicants.
* You will gain a qualification which, in conjunction with appropriate clinical training, will satisfy the Postgraduate Medical Education & Training Board and allow you to move on to ST year 6 training.
