Paediatric Regional Emergency Medicine Innovation, Education & Research
Shaping the future of Paediatric Emergency Care in Wessex
Come and Join Us in Wessex
In Wessex we recognise that working in Paediatric Emergency Medicine requires bespoke high level training. We have monthly regional training days for our PEM trainees, bringing together RCPCH and RCEM trainees as well as trainee ACPs from across the region to train together and become experts in delivering Paediatric Emergency Care.
Our training days cover clinical and non-clinical topics — technical skills, emergency procedures, leadership and human factors, mental health and adolescent care, inclusivity and diversity, team development, service improvement and business cases.

Hear from trainees and clinicians across Wessex.
“The Paediatric Trauma fellowship in Southampton's Children's ED is a combined out-of-programme post with designated non-clinical fellowship time in normal working hours and out-of-hours clinical work in the Children's ED. The clinical work is well-supported with consultant presence up to 10pm every day. There is a well-established education programme, with middle grades drawn from both RCEM and RCPCH.”
