This training, which is recommended as being of 3 years minimum duration, will normally come as a prelude to specialist training, and will underpin many of the principles set out in this specialist syllabus. However this ETR may also guide general EM physicians who wish to extend their paediatric skills. Those doctors will usually have undertaken core training in general medicine, but will have developed a number of paediatric skills and competencies as a result of the EM training, and through their work in Emergency Departments that see children. For such doctors, a repeat of their core training (this time in Paediatrics) seems unreasonable. We would recommend that for this group, evaluation by a PEM trainer at the start of their paediatric training should identify what competencies from the Paediatric Core syllabus need addressing, and suitable specific paediatric training in these areas should be arranged. It is expected that this would be a minimum of 1 year in an accredited centre. PEM was recognised as a specialist area within paediatrics by the Confederation of European Specialists in Paediatrics (CESP) and latterly by the EAP and is a subsection of the Tertiary Care Group of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP), itself a section of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) through the European Board of Paediatrics (EBP). PEM is concerned with providing highly specialised acute health care to children of all ages.
