Welcome to the Paediatrics ST1 Clinical Knowledge Course

We have created this clinical knowledge course to deepen your understanding of key Paediatric conditions, ensuring you are well prepared for more challenging interview follow-up questions, while also equipping you with the core knowledge required for a Paediatrics ST1 training post.

A strong grasp of underlying pathophysiology, evidence-based management, and practical clinical application will enable you to approach these questions with greater confidence, and help you stand out by demonstrating depth of knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for the specialty.

Each topic has been developed by senior trainees (ST3+), or registrars, drawing on experience of specialty training requirements, interviews and their own clinical experience on the job.

We hope you find the content both practical and valuable in your preparation. If you have any feedback or suggestions, we’d be very happy to hear from you.
