Welcome to everyone - whether you're a trainee, a trainer, a college tutor, a medical staffing officer or anyone else interested in level 1 Core & level 2 Intermediate Paediatric Training in KSS.
The KSS Specialty School of Paediatrics was set up at the end of 2007 to ensure good quality training under the guidance of modernising medical careers. Similar schools have been set up in the different Deaneries across the country.
The KSS School of Paediatrics is responsible for the recruitment and training of all the paediatric posts within KSS at the level 1 (core paediatrics ST1 – ST3) and level 2* (ST4 –ST5), see March 2010 update below:
*March 2010 update:
KSS Deanery has recently negotiated that the management of KSS ST4 & ST5 trainees will now be managed by the KSS Deanery under the umbrella of the KSS School of Paediatrics which is led by Head of School Dr Peter Martin which extends KSS responsibilities beyond the ST1-3 programmes they currently manage.
KSS Deanery will manage the administration of these programmes and will be responsible for the ST4 trainees from September 2010 and ST5 trainees from 2011. This will include RITA/ARCP management, rotations and supporting trainees with general training issues.
Under current arrangements London Deanery will continue to manage KSS trainees at HST for years 6, 7 & 8.
KSS Deanery provides a wide range of support services for its trainees. Visit our support pages for information about less than full-time training, specialty deferrals, transfers, support for trainees in difficulty, study and maternity leave.
