Archives of Disease in Childhood

The College's scientific publication is one of the leading paediatric journals in the world. A peer-reviewed journal, ADC focuses on all aspects of child health and disease from the perinatal period to adolescence. Its Education and Practice edition can help paediatricians in their ongoing professional development, and its Fetal and Neonatal edition brings together quality research and reviews.

All RCPCH members have access to the online editions, including the 'flipbook' versions, and can subscribe to the print editions at a significantly reduced cost.

As an official journal of the RCPCH, ADC provides paediatricians with the most recent, relevant and original research reports, commentaries, clinical and policy reviews and education. It aims to enhance child health through training, advocacy and the promotion and dissemination of high quality research. It is unafraid to challenge dogma and it articulates viewpoints with passion, warmth and wit.

ADC also has a podcast channel, featuring a regular rotation of editor highlights, coverage of specific articles and interviews with authors and specialists.
