Paediatric Revision Course

The one-day Paediatric Revision Course focuses on the essential, core knowledge required to pass paediatric finals. The course is intensive and exam-oriented, with particular attention paid to the topics that come up in finals. All the sessions are interactive and take full advantage of audio-visual aids to ensure familiarity with clinical scenarios and examination techniques.

The content of the course has evolved over eight years of development, to take into account both changes in the practice of paediatrics as well as trends in examination questions. Feedback from delegates nationwide is carefully examined and used to direct new course content.

The Paediatric Revision Course has been developed by educator and paediatrician, Dr Adam Fox, a consultant Paediatric Allergist at St Thomas' Hospital and lead for undergraduate Paediatrics Teaching at Kings College London Medical School. He is a well known figure in undergraduate and postgraduate paediatric teaching, has led educational programmes around the world and won a number of prizes for his presentation skills.

The course will be jointly presented by Adam and Dr Sarah Eisen, an Academic Clinical Fellow at the Institute of Child Health, UCL and a Specialist Registrar in Paediatrics for the London Deanery.
