  Paediatrics -- Diwakar et al. 318 (7195): 2 -- BMJ
This has given rise to the concept of "ambulatory paediatrics,"1 in which the care of sick children and their families is coordinated as much as possible out of the hospital setting with the involvement of primary, secondary, and tertiary staff.
Paediatric training may begin in the preregistration year with a four month post combined with adult medicine and surgery, from general practice vocational training schemes, from general professional training in accident and emergency (where over 25% of attendees are children), and from general professional training in general paediatrics, community paediatrics, neonatal medicine, and specialties.
In paediatrics, 66% of trainees are women, 20% of women in all training grades work flexibly; 7% of consultant paediatricians currently work flexibly, and the forecast is for the proportion to rise.
