Paediatrics & Neonatology

​​Paediatric HMOs rotate through the Children’s Unit and Neonatal Unit. HMOs are closely supervised by paediatric registrars, and their duties include day to day care of children, supervised attendance at deliveries to gain experience in neonatal resuscitation, assessment of children on referral from the Emergency Department and attendance at outpatient clinics. Procedural skills to learn include venepuncture, intravenous cannula insertion, and urine specimen collection.​
