Scotland

We manage external relations with stakeholders and policymakers including the Scottish Government and organisations with an interest in child health. Our friendly team is here to make sure members in Scotland have a voice.

Policy and public affairs

Our team works with paediatricians in Scotland and our two committees. We provide Scottish Government, Scottish Parliament and the third sector with up-to-date guidance and push for policy change to improve the health of children and young people in the nation.
