Overview
Key facts
The care of infants, children and young people often form a large part of a doctor’s caseload, yet newly qualified doctors are often ill-equipped to provide comprehensive child-centred medical care and doctors considering entering speciality training in paediatrics soon realise that children are not simply small adults. Assessing an ill child is an art.
Royal College of Physicians's RCPI Diploma in Paediatrics is a rich, engaging taught programme ideal for upskilling practising physicians with high paediatric caseloads or preparing those at early stage of paediatric specialism.The NPS score for this programme is 80+. An NPS is the Net Promoter Score which refers to how likely a participant on the programme is to recommend the course to a colleague or friend. A score of 80+ is exceptional and speaks volumes about the calibre of the online content, tutors and student experience.
Drawing on the expertise of local and international experts in Paediatrics, the programme provides graduates with advanced knowledge and skills to enhance the health and wellbeing of children.
