Get involved

In 2020 the College joined a number of other organisations in declaring a climate emergency. From then, we established the Climate Change Working Group. We're looking for a member to chair our workstream on research into the impact of climate change on children and young people.

These opportunities support the College's research activities. We promote high quality research, support the development of paediatric researchers and contribute directly to the evidence base.

We aim to influence public policy at all levels to improve health outcomes for all infants, children and young people in the UK. We work with members and officers to develop evidence based policy and healthcare standards with clear asks and actions to influence key decision makers.

Our Parliamentary Panel is open to members of all levels who are interested in contributing to our public affairs and campaigns work in Westminster.

Our Recruitment and Lifelong Careers Board is responsible for workstreams in careers promotion and support for paediatricians of all levels, national (ST), sub-specialty and consultant paediatric recruitment, and overseas recruitment such as the Medical Training Initiative Paediatrics, or MTI(p).

Trainees are a vital part of the paediatric workforce. To reflect the trainees’ points of view and receive their input it is important to have a trainee representative in College committees.
