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.

Autumn 2025 - Community building

We shine a light on connections in this issue, with contributions from several communities. Five international members share their experiences of the RCPCH Visiting Fellowship Scheme, while some of our senior colleagues reflect on their retirement plans. Plus, we hear ideas for the future of community child health and how yEAP is supporting paediatricians in the UK and Europe to work together.
