RCPCH Conference Online 2020This year’s Conference is hosted online with a virtual poster gallery and over 20 free sessions starting in late September. It’s conference, but not as we know it.
Ask what I can do...Dr Nikhil Ganjoo recounts how much he's enjoyed the many roles he's had in the College over the years, and encourages other members to get involved and help shape College activity.
What's the issue?
We recently surveyed members who are working as paediatric consultants, or retired, in the UK. The findings give a glimpse into the greatly damaging effect of this legislation, which has created a perverse incentive to reduce working hours or retire early.
