The coroner's concerns
1. lack of mandatory paediatric training for GPs
“Currently it is not mandatory for GPs to undertake formal paediatric / child health training”
2. absence of specialist paediatric training for GPs
“Specialist led paediatric training will ensure that future GPs have the skills and experience they need to assess and respond effectively and safely to sick children”
3. limited paediatric exposure for GP trainees
“GP trainees who do undertake a paediatric placement during their training gain a range of educational benefits such as the development of skills in spotting the sick child”
