Revalidation in Paediatric trauma for Consultants
Delivering safe and effective trauma care for children requires not only clinical expertise but also ongoing professional reflection and development. This session will explore key aspects of revalidation relevant to surgeons involved in paediatric trauma, including maintaining competence, demonstrating quality of care, and engaging in audit, outcomes review, and continuing professional development. Through practical examples and discussion, the session will highlight strategies to support meaningful appraisal and revalidation while improving standards of paediatric trauma care.
