Cardiff University Paediatric Society (CUPS) is a society for students interested in the health and wellbeing of the child. Primarily aimed at healthcare students, CUPS hopes to provide events and activities throughout the year that will develop interest and encourage students to excel within the field of paediatrics. We believe that the multidisciplinary nature of the society provides an invaluab

le learning opportunity and will reflect and promote the team working and holistic approach that paediatrics epitomises. Although the focus of the society is generally an academic one, CUPS will also provide volunteering opportunities to give practical experience of working with children and allow communication with children and their families. We will also dedicate time to fundraising, raising money for some of the many charities that are so important for children.

A brand new CUPS opportunity for paid work in the Paediatric Emergency Department at UHW!

As this is clinical work, it is only open to medical students in their clinical years (year 3 and above).

It will involve working with senior clinicians in the paeds ED as clinical assistants, performing tasks such as scribing, ECGs, venipuncture and more!

As we all have education and placement responsibilities, the work will be available only on weekends and evenings. The work will be paid via the NHS banding system at around band 3 which translates to around £10 an hour.
