Recruitment in Paediatrics remains difficult with competition ratios around 2.0 making efforts to retain trainees within paediatrics particularly important. Training can be challenging for many reasons, and burnout is particularly high in paediatrics. Our data highlights issues with flexibility, workplace factors and unawareness of available resources. 15-20% of trainees entering paediatric training at ST1 do not go on to CCT in paediatrics
