RCPCH Members’ Award

This award honours members who have done exceptional work in support of child health, but who might not be eligible for Honorary Fellowship or other awards. We are always open to receive a wide range of nominations.

It may be across any field of relevant work – for instance, clinical, research, service delivery, or teaching/training.

There is no geographical restriction on recipients of the Members' Award.
