Brings together research leads from the paediatric specialty groups and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) clinical study groups to support the RCPCH in increasing, strengthening and delivering child health research.
About
The Committee was established in 2016, with all research leads from the paediatric specialty groups and NIHR clinical study groups invited to join. The Committee provides advice to the RCPCH on ways to support the delivery of improved health outcomes for children and young people through increasing and strengthening research in child health. Through this mechanism, the committee contributes to and advises on the RCPCH research agenda.
