Why Paediatrics?
Some testimonials from Paediatric training community in London
"One of the things I really love about paediatrics is experiencing working with children with such a wide range of ages from a tiny neonate to young adults. I also really enjoy the family dynamics and how this can impact on the health of the child."
Mariyum Hyrapetian
Paediatric ST1 trainee
"Paediatrics is such a rewarding field to work in - just ask any paediatrician about the last time a child gave them a big smile or hug for making them feel better. I love working in paediatrics in London because there's just so much variety of pathology with the incredibly multi-ethnic population that we get here - I sometimes forget that I'm in a developed Western country!"
Gin Peh
Paediatric ST6 trainee
"I worked in Paediatrics in Maldives, Northern Ireland and Scotland before starting (ST) training in London in 2007. Working in London, with its rich clinical, academic, teaching, leadership and management training opportunities, is by far the most fulfilling. Working with children, is an incredibly gratifying experience….well worth the long years of training!"

Paediatric ST6 trainee
"I just love the variety of clinical cases and how my day job is so exciting. I can teach and supervise and examine and learn and laugh and cry all in one day. I cannot think of a more satisfying job to do."
