The committee consists of consultants from regions across the UK and the devolved nations. The representatives advise trainees undertaking an academic programme in paediatrics, raise academic training issues within their region, and bring them to the attention of the College. The committee is responsible for setting standards for the provision of academic training in paediatrics.
