NTNs Specifically Designated for Subspecialist Training in Paediatric Urology
There are six national NTNs specifically designated for subspecialist training in paediatric urology and all are recognised by the SAC in Paediatric Surgery. Five of these NTNs came from paediatric surgery and one from a London North urology NTN.

| London | | 3 posts (Great Ormond Street / Evelina / Southampton)
Organised as a rotation with all trainees getting a year at Great Ormond Street and a second year at either Evelina or Southampton |
