This course is open to all ACPs and Trainee ACPs; however, priority for places will be given to Trainee ACPs.

This masterclass will cover:

  • Key differences between paediatric and adult presentations
  • Practical tips for common GP paediatric cases
  • Safeguarding consideration

Delivered in a relaxed and supportive learning environment, this session is ideal for clinicians who are new to the MSc programme, preparing for OSCEs, or approaching qualification and consolidation of practice. With limited places available, participants will benefit from hands-on learning, small class sizes, and the opportunity for 1-to-1 clinical supervision.

About the Speaker

Caroline Knott

“I qualified as a children’s nurse in 2002 in Nottingham, where I completed a paediatric rotation across general paediatrics, neurosciences and oncology before moving to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. During my 5 years at GOSH I completed my post reg BSc in children’s cancer nursing whilst working as a staff nurse in the specialty and later completing a year in clinical research.

From 2010 – 2022 I worked at University College London Hospital, as a clinical nurse educator and later advanced nurse practitioner in paediatrics, with a specialist interest in cancer. During this time I completed my MSc children’s advanced nurse practitioner and my PGCert Education, registering as a nurse teacher and independent prescriber.
I was the first ANP in our service and led the development of the new role, and various other service development projects.

After re-locating from London to Cambridgeshire with my young family during covid, I looked for roles closer to home and worked as ward sister of Hinchingbrooke’s Children’s ward, Holly. I quickly began to miss working directly with families and using my advanced practice skills, so I took the leap into general practice in September 2025, joining the duty team at Grove medical practice in St Ives.

Since then, I have completed minor illnesses training and the advanced clinical assessment of adults module. Although I see a wide range of both adults and children, I specialise in managing children presenting to the surgery requiring same day or same week appointments”
