The Examinations Team support exam candidates based in the UK and overseas.
We provide two types of examination, the Membership examination (MRCPCH) and the Diploma in Child Health (DCH).
Our team is responsible for all aspects of candidate administration from application to results. We also support clinical lead input into the development of clinical examination scenarios, clinical examiner recruitment and training and clerical support to examination related committees, panels and working groups.
