Endocrinología Pediátrica. Anexos ❚ 139 3 International Code of Medical Ethics (https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-international- code-of-medical-ethics). This document derives from the previous Chapter 6 of the Training Charter and provides definitions of specialist competencies and procedures as well as how to document and assess them. For the sake of transparency and coherence, it has been renamed as “Training Requirements for the Specialty”. This document aims to provide the basic Training Requirements for each specialty and should be regularly updated by UEMS Specialist Sections and European Boards to reflect scientific and medical progress. The three-part structure of this document reflects the UEMS approach to have a coherent pragmatic document not only for medical specialists but also for decision-makers at the National and European level interested in knowing more about medical specialist training. Paediatrics Paediatrics is an independent medical specialty based on the knowledge and skills required for the prevention, diagnosis and management of all aspects of illness and injury affecting children of all age groups from birth to the end of adolescence, up to the age of 18 years. It is not just about the recognition and treatment of illness in babies and children. It also encompasses child health, which covers all aspects of growth and development and the prevention of disease. The influence of the family and other environmental factors also play a large role in the development of the child, and many conditions require life-long management and follow-up before a smooth transition of care to adult services. For these reasons we believe that all doctors practising Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes require a solid basic training in General Paediatrics, as set out by many National Training Authorities (NTAs), and in the recommended European Common Trunk Syllabus, approved by the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP)-UEMS. This training, which should be of 3 years minimum duration , should act as a prelude to specialist training, and will underpin many of the principles set out in this specialist syllabus. This document sets out the minimum requirements for training in Tertiary Care Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes. Tertiary Care Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes was recognised in 1996 as a Paediatric subspecialty (competency) by the General Assembly of the European Board of Paediatrics, itself a section of the UEMS. Subspecialty description Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes is a non-surgical subspecialty concerned with the care of children and adolescents who have structural and functional disorders of the endocrine glands, of hormone synthesis, secretion and action, and the consequences there of on health, growth, puberty, homeostasis and metabolism.
