Milestones - member magazine

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 2026: Our anniversary

We’re celebrating the College’s anniversary as well as looking back at another successful annual conference and shining a light on a few of our award winners. However, we’re also looking forward with a focus on the evolving nature of training.

Contributors to this issue highlight the importance of post-training support and explore the topic of less than full-time, revealing how it’s redefined the traditional training experience. In addition, perspectives from colleagues who’ve navigated out-of-programme training offer valuable reflections.
