All College members are warmly invited to join AGM 2025 on Thursday 27 March at 12:15. You can join us in person at Conference in Glasgow or virtually via a livestream.
We invite members to apply for a College role - including on child protection publications, audits, paediatric training and workforce planning... The deadline for this round is 24 March at 12:00 noon.
We offer a range of courses, including our popular 'How to manage' series on clinical topics, plus safeguarding, effective educational supervision and exam preparation. Many are hosted online.
Covering the next three years and with four strategic goals, our strategy aims to meet our members' priorities to support their working lives and be a powerful advocate for children and young people.
Over the past months, we've held workshops with children and young people, members and stakeholders in health research. We've now submitted a summary of the insights to Change NHS in England.
We want to make conversations between child health professionals and families about about air quality 'business as usual'. Our communication toolkit on our Air Pollution Companion has plenty of advice...
As RCPCH President, Steve shares regular updates with members by email and on this website - such as his regular feature on #WDYCD4Y: What Does Your College Do For You.
With the theme, 'Future child health: innovate, integrate and inspire', it happens in Glasgow, and online, from 26 to 28 March, with an extensive programme.
With members' support, we campaigned for the maternal Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine. And since September, more than one in three women giving birth have taken up the offer.
We support and promote paediatric child health research in the UK and internationally. Search our database of current and upcoming opportunities for projects and posts.
