    No. Paediatric surgery is it's own speciality, you may specialise within it but you would not cross over into another specialty. So cardiothoracic surgeons may subspecialise in paediatric cardiothoracics, orthopaedic surgeons may subspecialise in paediatric orthopaedics etc.

    Aaah, so basically it's the other way round!
    Thanks!
