Your wellbeing

We work in a deeply rewarding, but challenging field of medicine, often exposed to extremes of emotions. We also face challenges relating to our work environment (work-load, rota gaps and the risk of fatigue relating to shift work). In addition to this, as trainees we also have to factor in studying for MRCPCH exams and rotating between different hospitals (although these challenges are certainly not unique to Paediatrics).

​

 

An important part of training is learning how to look after ourselves and find a balance. 

​

The West Midlands School of Paediatrics is keen to support trainees. There is now a Trainee Welfare Representative on the Trainee Committee, who can be contacted via email.

We will be populating this page with useful links and resources.
