This interactive study day is designed to equip paediatric trainees with the practical skills and confidence needed to manage critically ill children. With a strong focus on real-world interventions delivered in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), High Dependency Units (HDU), and by critical care transport teams, you’ll gain the tools to provide high-quality care in acute settings.
Alongside clinical content, the day offers valuable guidance on pursuing a career in PICU or HDU, including application processes and what to expect from subspecialty and special-interest training. Sessions also explore the patient and family experience, deepening your understanding of holistic PICU care.
