As a prospective trainee, I need to find out the application dates for the August/September 2025 Paediatric Neurology GRID intake. I also want to understand the recent structural changes to the training program under RCPCH Progress+ and what ongoing support is available for trainees throughout their journey. Please provide these details.
Navigate to the 'Careers' section of the website. Go to the 'Apply for Paediatric Neurology GRID' page to find application dates and details on RCPCH Progress+ changes. Navigate to the 'Support through training' page to identify ongoing support mechanisms. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
State that applications for the August/September 2025 GRID intake open on 23 October 2024 at 12pm and close on 13 November 2024 at 12pm. Explain that RCPCH Progress+ reduces the training program from three levels (ST1-3, ST4-5, ST6-8) to two levels ('core' ST1-4 and 'specialty' ST5-7), effective from August 2023. Describe the ongoing support available: educational leads in each centre, annual face-to-face progress meetings with CSAC representatives, and mentoring for trainees in their last year.
