This group of doctors will receive training in the following three areas:
1. Management of paediatric and neonatal life-threatening scenarios
2. Communication training
3. Training in non-technical skills
The Whittington Hospital, UCLH, Royal free and GOS Hospital NHS Trusts will be able to provide five full immersion simulation training days, and three communication and part-task training days before the end of the paediatric academic year i.e. before September 2010.
