About the course
Our PGCertPaeds is a professional qualification that will equip doctors and nurse practitioners with the latest evidence-based paediatric medical knowledge.
The programme builds upon existing clinical knowledge and further develops it. Our graduates therefore have advanced clinical knowledge and skills for their role in community or primary care.
The PGCertPaeds is a flexible programme that can largely be completed remotely. You can therefore continue your clinical professional development with minimal impact on your work commitments.
