Our programme has been designed to provide the educational background required for clinicians managing medical emergencies in children._x000D_ Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) is a rapidly expanding specialty. It has its roots in Emergency Medicine and Paediatrics but also has close affiliations with Paediatric Surgical Specialties, Paediatric Critical Care, Primary Care and Public Health._x000D_ From quite a diverse background, PEM has now developed into a specialty in its own right and there is a great need for extra PEM training on a UK, European and worldwide basis._x000D_ Prospective students will often be working full-time in professional roles caring for ill and injured children, including practicing doctors, nurses, paramedics and physician associates. Our programme is delivered as a part-time, online, interactive MSc - which affords students learning in a real-world context a degree of flexibility in their approach to study._x000D_ We use a problem-based learning approach, which promotes active learning appropriate to individual needs._x000D_ Students will have the option of graduating after one, two or three years with a Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma, or MSc respectively._x000D_ Learning outcomes_x000D_ The key learning outcomes of the programme are to enable students to:_x000D_ understand the physiology and pathology behind critical illness and injury in children_x000D_ develop critical and analytical skills_x000D_ develop scientific writing and presentation skills_x000D_ prepare for the ever-changing and expanding medical and scientific knowledge base_x000D_ Educational aims_x000D_ We aim to create a stimulating learning environment using ‘problem-based learning’ to produce graduates with a deep understanding of the principles and practice of paediatric emergencies, and who can improve outcomes for patients and families based on this understanding._x000D_ This approach can be broken down into three main principles:_x000D_ The application of existing knowledge via a problem-based approach. This challenges the student to critically reflect on their clinical practice._x000D_ Active rather than passive learning within a real-world context, based on the current scientific literature._x000D_ Communication of information visually and in prose._x000D_ From August 2025, teaching on this programme will be delivered by the Edinburgh Medical School._x000D_ (Revised 1 August 2025 to update reference to Edinburgh Medical School)
