Introduction
This comprehensive programme is intended for professionals specialising in Paediatrics and Child Health and is based at the Institute of Child Health, which sits in a unique position in UK paediatrics because of its strong links to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and University College London. GOS is the largest Paediatric hospital in the UK with 21 medical, 11 surgical and eight diagnostic specialities, plus eight paramedical and other clinical support services. The ICH is on the same site and is the largest UK centre focusing on research into childhood conditions. ICH is the largest specialised Institute within University College London, which was recently ranked in the top 5 Universities worldwide. The ICH submission received the highest rating in the last Research Assessment Exercise, and it is building up its portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses: administration of UCL medical student paediatrics is now run from ICH; the first UK intercalated BSc in Paediatrics is starting in 2010 to run alongside the existing successful program in International Health; and there is a wide range of MSc courses including Paediatrics, Global Health, Cardio-Respiratory Physiotherapy and Neuro-Psychology.
