Cardiología Pediátrica. Anexos ❚ 47 Page 27 of 64 Paediatric Cardiology curriculum additional cardiologists at each centre must also have specialised skills in other areas to avoid single handed practice. In some specialist fields, skills are complementary and therefore some trainees will need to be able to provide more than one themed for service skill (and hence would be expected to achieve a minimum of level 3 capability in each by CCT) . Examples of this would be training in for example advanced echo imaging or CT and MRI. These services are required in all centres, but demand is unlikely be high enough to fuel enough sessions for the requisite two to three full time specialists for each of these areas without overlap. Hence for those trainees studying two complementary areas, during ST7 and ST8, the capability levels of each will be assessed as per the current (2018) decision grid for ST7 in that area. A valid IRMER certificate is required for cardiac catheterisation, pacing and electrophysiology and specialist imaging. Paediatric Cardiology Themed for Service CiPs (ST7-ST8) 1.
