Community paediatrics is assuming increasing importance but is rarely taught as an entity. We have recently organized a course in community paediatrics for general practitioners, doctors working in the area child health services and hospital paediatricians. Features of this day release course are self-instruction at home with specially prepared material, discussion between doctors from different disciplines, discussion with non-medical professionals and the undertaking and presentation of a project. The course is flexible, and once set up can be run without extensive facilities and resources.
