Abstract
There are many challenges facing junior doctors when they start to practise paediatrics. Undergraduate training in the UK remains dominated by experiences within adult medicine and surgery. Although some skills and knowledge are directly transferable, the maxim “children are not just small adults” is particularly pertinent to the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to enable safe paediatric prescribing. Unfortunately, there is little space for specific training in paediatric prescribing during child health attachments in most medical schools.
