Libro Blanco de las ACES Pediátricas 2024 454 ❚ Anexo 2. European Training Requirements for Training in Paediatric Nephrology European Training Requirements for Training in Paediatric Nephrology Syllabus completed: December 2019 Approved by EBP: December 2019 Preface 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 Nephrology 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 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 Nephrology . Paediatric Nephrology was recognised as such by the Confederation of European Specialists in Paediatrics (CESP) at the Annual Meeting and is a subsection of the Tertiary Care Group of the European Academy of Paediatrics, itself a section of the European Union of Medical Specialists (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (UEMS) through the European Board of Paediatrics (EBP). Paediatric Nephrology is a specialty concerned with the care, investigation and non-surgical treatment of patients with congenital and acquired renal disease, disorders of glomerular and tubular function, molecular biology and genetic aspects of renal diseases, metabolic consequences of renal failure (acute and chronic renal failure), treatment of chronic renal failure (peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy, transplantation: pre-, postoperative and long-term outpatient care), clinical epidemiology, prevention of renal disease (screening programmes), fluid and electrolytes/acid - base disorders, blood pressure/hypertension, nutrition in patients with renal disease, urinary tract
