Tayside has an excellent reputation for being a friendly and supportive environment with a passion for paediatric training.

They should be able to provide evidence of achievement of paediatric capabilities equivalent to a trainee who has completed ST2, as defined by the Paediatric RCPCH Progress+ curriculum.

If subsequently appointed to a relevant Specialty Training Programme through open competition, documented competences achieved through a LAT can count towards CCT, or towards a CESR application for those not entering an approved Specialty Training Programme.”
