Source accessed: 22 October 2026. Source access is not the institution’s publication date, renewed accreditation, or confirmation of open recruitment.
Reviewer notes: Entry is at MBChB level, so this is a specialty degree rather than a post-residency fellowship; included because the page names a distinct paediatric surgery track. Duration field is blank on the page.
