Improving Child Health
The RCPCH is committed to improving the health of children everywhere by supporting members and policymakers to build on evidence-based practice.
Our priorities are making the NHS a better place for children and young people, child mortality, public health and child protection.
We support these through programmes in research and surveilliance, clinical and service standards, quality improvement, clinical audit and policy. We involve children, young people and families in all of our work.
