- Come and Join Us in WessexProgramme DetailsIn Wessex we recognise that working in Paediatric Emergency Medicine requires bespoke high level training. We have monthly regional training days for our PEM trainees, bringing together our RCPCH and RCEM trainees as well as our trainee ACPS from across the region to train together and become experts in delivering Paediatric Emergency Care.
Our training days are hugely valuable and valued by all of our trainees. The cover clinical and non-clinical topics and every aspect of what it takes to excel in Paediatric Emergency Medicine. We focus on technical skills, emergency procedures, leadership and human factors training, mental health and adolescent care, inclusivity and diversity and explore how to develop teams, services, pathways and business cases.TestimonialsThe Paediatric Trauma fellowship in Southampton’s Children’s ED is a combined out-of-programme post with designated non-clinical fellowship time in normal working hours and out-of-hours clinical work in the Children’s ED. The clinical work is well-supported with consultant presence up to 10pm every day and often until midnight on weekdays. There is a well-established education programme, and the middle grades are drawn from both RCEM and RCPCH (subspecialty trainees and general paediatric trainees) so there are plenty of opportunities to learn safely!
In fellowship time, you are supported to lead on projects relating to improving trauma care in the department and in the wider hospital. The role is very flexible and can be tailored to your particular interest, but it is easy to increase your experience to audit, governance processes and guideline development. You will be supported to develop a project that will best serve your educational needs, and which will improve your portfolio across curriculum domains.
