Description

Children and young people experiencing gastroenterological discomfort are common presenting problems at paediatric clinics. It is widely recognised that 'gastroenterology' is a key component in general paediatric practice with its unique challenges such as the diversity in cognitive maturation found within paediatric population and the specific characteristics of the development of the gastrointestinal system in children. The need for specialists trained in paediatric gastroenterology has been given added impetus in recent years by increasing evidence of the profound impact that many chronic gastrointestinal diseases have on children's growth and development, as well as by the knowledge that certain gastroenterological conditions are specific to infants.
