About Media Affairs at
RCPCH
The RCPCH aims to make the general public, stakeholders, the
media and Parliament (including the Scottish Parliament
and National Assembly for Wales) aware of the issues
facing the world of paediatrics. Workforce, regulation of doctors
and obesity are a few topics within the spectrum of subjects that
the RCPCH is involved in.
On a daily basis, the press office answers enquiries from
journalists and documentary makers, and provides background
information, comments, or interviews.
The press office holds a list of paediatricians - the Press
Panel - who are willing to speak to the media about their area of
expertise, on subjects ranging from Attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
In addition to handling press enquiries about the College's work
and paediatrics, we also provide a press office function to the
British Paediatric Surveillance Unit - BPSU
