Description
Summary:The European Board of Paediatrics has recommended for all paediatricians a three‐year Common Trunk training in basic paediatrics, followed for tertiary care specialists, by three years of training in the relevant specialty. Paediatric Haematology and Oncology is a complex specialty with a broad range of activities, ranging from the care of children with leukaemia and solid tumours including those of the central nervous system, to all types of non‐malignant haematologic disorders and laboratory haematology pursuits. A modular training programme has been recommended to provide a broad standard of training across the whole specialty which should last at least 18 months, and a further period of 18 months that may be used flexibly to prepare trainees for their anticipated future careers.
