Global child health resources for volunteers
This is a library of resources and materials for current and future volunteers.
Who are these resources for?
It is intended that current and future RCPCH volunteers, and their local colleagues, can use and adapt these resources to assist with the accomplishment of their own placement objectives and the strengthening of the hospitals’ capacity to provide improved patient care.
General resources
Revalidation guidance for doctors undertaking overseas work through the RCPCH Global Team (PDF, 160KB)
Revalidation guidance for trainees undertaking overseas work through the RCPCH Global team

How is the information collected?
Each of these documents has been sent to the Global Links Manager to be uploaded onto this webpage.
It should be noted that the resources are the property of the volunteers themselves and the local hospitals where they worked, and are not formally endorsed by RCPCH.
