The section runs an internationally recognised MSc in Allergy / Certificate of Advanced Study in Allergy and has recently launched the MSc in Paediatrics and Child Health and the successful MRCPCH Clinical Course for paediatricians preparing to take their MRCPCH Part 2 clinical exams.
Research groups:
Allergy and Infectious Diseases
The paediatric department within the Wright Fleming Institute based on the St Mary’s campus of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has, over the last twenty years, developed a programme of bench to bedside research in infectious disease and latterly also allergy.
Community Health
Community Paediatrics is an emerging specialty with several distinct areas of interest:-
- Child Public Health and Population Paediatrics
- Behavioural and developmental paediatrics
- Neurodisability
- Social paediatrics and child protection
- Ambulatory paediatrics
Neonatal Medicine
The focus is the newborn infant and the impact that care during the neonatal period has for adult health and wellbeing. Our research encompasses the understanding of fundamental processes during normal development - with particular reference to the regulation of body composition, multi-centre clinical trials and population based epidemiology.
