Paediatrician

A Paediatrician is a medical doctor that specialises in treating children and babies. You might assess patients, order tests and diagnose illnesses or other disorders. Paediatricians may prescribe medication or recommend other treatments. You may also liaise with other healthcare providers and make patient referrals when required.

Paediatricians should have excellent communication skills and be able to work with young patients and their families. It’s important you are organised and can understand patients’ individual needs. Paediatricians must have excellent attention to detail and be able to follow correct procedures. You’ll need to be able to remain calm during challenging situations.
