Summary
Our programme has been designed to provide the educational background required for clinicians, nurses, paramedics and physician associates, managing medical emergencies in children.
Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) is a rapidly expanding specialty. It has its roots in Emergency Medicine and Paediatrics but also has close affiliations with Paediatric Surgical Specialties, Paediatric Critical Care, Primary Care and Public Health.
From quite a diverse background, PEM has now developed into a specialty in its own right and there is a great need for extra PEM training on a UK, European and worldwide basis.
Prospective students will often be working full-time in professional roles caring for ill and injured children. Our programme is delivered as a part-time, online, interactive MSc, which affords students learning in a real-world context a degree of flexibility in their approach to study.
