Our ST trainees are within a single programme across the whole of London ie there is a single pan-London programme. You will spend the first 5 or so years of your training based in a particular sector. However you will always primarily be a London trainee. As a London trainee you will have access to a wide range of educational opportunities which we offer to all our trainees. For instance, we have a fantastic Simulation programme and even though it is delivered in various trusts across London, any of our trainees can attend regardless of where they are working.
Likewise we have a large number of courses and exam support opportunities — again, any trainee can attend those irrespective of where they work. Our vision is to develop and deliver better training, teaching and support for trainees using information technologies.
The huge range of educational opportunities offered within the deanery is one of our greatest assets. However it is recognised that some parts of the curriculum cannot always be taught locally, these areas are overseen and new areas developed. WE also work to aid trainees through the assessment process and run courses to help transition through different stages of paediatric training.

These opportunities are vital for guiding career choices and for maintain the breadth and diversity of interests within Paediatrics. Trainees within these posts have their own specific needs and support requirements.
