Spotlight on the child health workforce in England
Our policy briefing sets out our eight principles for change and clear recommendations that will help realise the government’s ambition to raise the healthiest generation of children ever.
Strengthening children’s community health services
More than 314,000 children and young people in England alone are waiting for community health services, and wait times are getting worse. We outline the evidence and impact, and call for action across the UK.
The UK Government has released its plan for the NHS in England. Over the past months and working alongside members, we've been building the case for children and the child health workforce.
We present the latest results from our organisational and clinical audit of paediatric epilepsy services, looking at neighbourhood provision, strengthening pathways and supporting mental health and wellbeing.
We first called on the Government to ban disposable e-cigarettes in June 2023, and the ban as of 1 June now brings the UK one step further towards a smokefree generation. But we must not become complacent.
With messages from our President, Board Chair and CEO, we outline how we developed our strategy, and how it helps ensure we are prepared, resilient and adaptable.
Our vision is a world where every child is healthy and well.
Our mission is to advance child health practice, shape policy, set educational standards and empower paediatricians. We are led by insights from our members, children and young people.
Our values are to include, influence, innovate and inspire.
Over our three-year strategy, these aim to free up our time and resources, which can in turn be used to create greater impact for our members and for child health.
Our enablers:
Improve the member experience
Improve the offer for members with College roles and staff
To raise the standard of medical care provided to children
To educate and examine those concerned with the health of children
