Nature of Work – Paediatric Surgeon

What is an average day like?
·         Working routine varies every day with its own challenges.
  • This includes carrying out ward rounds, working in the outpatient clinics, attending theatre sessions and teaching during a typical day.


  • Paediatric surgeons work within a multidisciplinary team of fellow paediatrics, radiologists, histologists and oncologists.


  • Patients are exceptionally varied, with only the age range in common. However, within this age range paediatric surgeons treat a great variety – from babies through to teenagers.


  • The most common challenge that paediatric surgeons face would be counselling the parents and children through difficult times.
