Please include:
• The challenges of not having a Paediatric Foundation post
• What can be done by Foundation trainees to increase their exposure to Paediatrics
• What support is currently in-place to support aspiring Paediatricians
• What should be done by RCPCH and other organisations to support aspiring paediatricians
