There are 10 consultant Paediatricians with a range of sub-specialty interests, including epilepsy, allergy, diabetes and endocrinology, respiratory, and community paediatrics.

The Paediatrics team are very invested in professional development, one of the main exemplary bits of practice in this regard is their commitment to helping doctors through the CESR / Portfolio pathway. Time and resources are allocated to helping individuals through the process to enable them to enter onto the specialist register in Paediatrics. The hospital is a level 1 SCBU so if there are pieces of evidence that an individual must gather that can’t be completed internally, the team can work to arrange this, e.g. some time at a local tertiary neonates unit or rotating to necessary different specialities etc. There is weekly training within the department as well as study leave budgets, and weekly SPA time. Individuals are encouraged to get involved in audits and quality improvement projects. Doctors are encouraged to get involved in formal and informal training of undergraduate students, postgraduate trainees, nurses, and AHPs, in a variety of settings, e.g. ad hoc, bedside, formal lectures and tutorials.
