Trust the experts

Babies are our business

Three reasons parents trust ParentMed with their baby's first year.

Clinical Experience

We are three highly trained, NHS paediatric consultants who are passionate about child health. Unlike many parenting course providers we have a complete range of experience caring for babies and children. We have expert knowledge of minor and common childhood issues and vast experience managing complex outpatient problems and leading teams facing acute paediatric emergencies.

Tailored Information

There is an overwhelming amount of health and medical information available online. We have carefully sourced the most accurate, evidence based and up-to-date information out there so you don't have to. As a team, we have combined our knowledge with a wealth of first hand experience on the wards, in clinics and in emergency departments. We have distilled the information into accessible interactive online courses.

Teaching Skill

The ParentMed team are teachers too. We have responsibility as senior clinicians to educate and train the resident doctors and allied health professionals who work with us. We have worked with the best multimedia companies to create informative, engaging and interesting courses. These courses will leave you feeling confident and ready for the exciting and wonderful journey ahead.
