Milestones is our quarterly member magazine. Each edition brings you all the latest College news, along with in-depth features and regular items on life in paediatrics in the UK and around the world.

Summer 2023

We’re preparing for Progress+, a new two-level paediatric training programme kicking off this summer! And we explore new ways of collaborative working in youth friendly services, sharing lessons learnt as a paediatrician and parent as well as a trainee’s perspective on public health.
