PLEAT Programme (Paediatrics Learning Education and Training Programme) 

The KSS School of Paediatricshas planned an education and training programme for all ST1-ST5 trainees within the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Deanery.

ST1 to ST3 trainees are expected to attend a minimum of 12 PLEAT days over a 3 year cycle (attendance should be spread over the 3 years and not left until the ST3 year)

ST4 to ST5 trainee are expected to attend a minimum of 3 Senior PLEAT days per year (6 over a 2 year period – Level 2)

Simulation Training Days

All trainees within the KSS training programme will be expected to attend at least 1 simulation day per year. These will be at 4 centres across the Deanery, Ashford & St. Peter’s (St Peter’s), Brighton, Medway, and Western Sussex (St Richard's), it is expected that doctors from all grades across the training programme will attend.

There will be scenarios and role playing exercises and each centre will have a simulation lead. It is also expected that there will be some standardisation of the scenarios, so that there will be no obvious difference in the quality of training at different sites, as they will all be using the latest up to date mannequins and equipment.
