South Wales Paediatric Trainee Committee
The South Wales Paediatric Trainee Committee are a voluntary group of trainees who help run different aspects of the training programme in Wales. Most of these initiatives are available across the whole of Wales but some are specific to South Wales (such as our close ties with the local universities). We meet on a regular basis to discuss any issues or improvements that can be made to the Training Programme.
