Paediatrics is a holistic specialty, focusing on the child within their family. It aims to minimise the adverse effects of disease, while allowing children to live as normal a life as possible.
Paediatrics offers a career in a stimulating, challenging and rewarding area of medicine. It embraces a rich scope and variety ranging from high technology neonatal and paediatric intensive care to the management of the disabled child; the organisation of preventative services in the community to the intensive treatment of the child with cancer.
General paediatrics remains the bedrock of the service, but there are opportunities to develop close links with other areas of medicine such as primary care, child and adolescent psychiatry and public health. Within paediatrics, specialists may develop skills in a variety of medical fields, including community paediatrics and neonatal intensive care.
The sub-specialties in paediatrics are diverse, incorporating nearly all areas of general medicine and adult specialties, however many of the subspecialties are only practiced in paediatrics.
