How to become a paediatrician UK

Hiya , I have been searching the internet for so long and cannot seem to find a proper answer on the actual physical steps and studies I need to take after A-levels in order to become a paediatrician including the years you spend at each stage. so if anyone can help me out , it would be really appreciated. x

thank you so much , but one more thing. Is the paediatric specialty training free or do you need to pay for it?

You will need As in biology and chemistry and something else relevant. Some places even require 2 types of biology and chemistry.

You will also need a DBS check (shouldn't be an issue unless you have or are related to people with a criminal record).

Not sure what you mean by this. Gonna go ahead and say its not true unless you can show otherwise?

I'm pretty sure a relative's history doesn't show up on your DBS. That would be a hugely unfair and a significant breach of privacy

If you find some useful info then please feel free to share it on here.

If you want exact info I suggest you open google and look it up.

No need to be like that.

So lets be clear: I am informing not asking: 1) No uni requires 'two types of bio/chem' citation: your link above. 2) The DBS does not include your relatives citation: that would be crazy. So crazy its hard to find a link that explicitly says it - this is a fairly long discussion of what is on there, and its not mentioned.



Good advert for TSR there!

Again, I am just looking things up and telling people what I find. I add links where I can so it's easier to check where I got stuff from and for people to come to their own conclusions. The two biology things is from that there chart that I included the link to. If I read it wrong or anything, which it seems I may have, you (/anybody else) have the chart there to work it out for yourself.

Never said it did. I just mentioned it because I've heard it can come up in the process of various checks and I wasn't sure about if it could delay a DBS at all.
Thank you for including that link. I'll take a look and hopefully it will help me give a better response next time something like this comes up.

At the end of the day I do not have the time or ability to ensure that everything I say is 100% fact. I try my best to present the info I can find, but I'm taking time out of my own life to try to help strangers just a little bit and give them some footing to find stuff themselves. If you want to see proper facts then frankly TSR is not the right place.

I'm not here to advertise TSR. I'm here to try to help people get to the info they need. TSR does not hold all information ever and the word of some random person online is not a substitute for getting and checking your own info. It can help people get there themselves though and that's my aim.

Thanks again for the link and for helping clear some things up. I genuinely do appreciate it.

I think you're making this bigger than it is! Was just some minor corrections.

Thank you for your efforts - it is genuinely nice to see someone linking evidence rather than just making citation-less bold assertions. Keep up the good work.
