The article presents a study which aims to propose a curriculum for paediatric musculoskeletal (pMSK) medicine to be taught to general practice trainees due to low self-rated confidence in pMSK assessment amongst both primary and secondary care physicians. It notes the use of Dephi methodology to identify learning needs in topics including allergy, genetics and psychiatry. It concludes the essence of the GP curriculum on pMSK medicine to improve the management of children with MSK disorders.
