Reset, Restore, RecoverWe now have an opportunity to reset how we plan and deliver healthcare, think about how we harness innovation and learning and use this as a basis to train our workforce.
Training and COVID-19Our VP for Training and Assessment David Evans has written about trainee progression in the UK through 2020 - including disruption to rotations and working patterns, ARCPs and more.
COVID-19
Our offices are closed, but staff are working remotely. We've postponed or cancelled all events through July and our MRCPCH and DCH exams through August.
This pandemic will cause unprecedented disruption to medical education, training and assessment in the UK. We know that many of our members will understandably be anxious and have questions. We've put together guides on training, as well as on paediatric services, staffing/rotas and collecting data on cases - you can find it all on our COVID-19 hub.
You may wish to explore our free online learning, including the recently relaunched Disability Matters, podcasts and an archive of past webinars.
Key resources for education and careers

Our resources range from advice for new trainees to our careers service. We also have some general information on wellbeing, plus tips on managing stress at work.
