RCPCH Wales team and enquiries

RCPCH Wales brings together paediatricians and other health professionals across Wales to advocate for paediatrics and wider issues that impact on children’s health. We provide administrative support to the Welsh Executive Committee and National Specialty Advisory Group (NSAG), and support the work of the Welsh Paediatric Society.

We work with the Welsh Government and a range of external stakeholders to promote paediatric services and wider policy changes that our members want to see to improve the health of children and young people in Wales.

For all enquiries email us at enquiries-wales@rcpch.ac.uk. You can address any mail to Wales Office, RCPCH, 5-11 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8SH. 

Other staff teams at RCPCH can help with any questions about membership, exams or training.
