About the journal
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 has continued to develop its podcast series (available on SoundCloud), increased commissioning (new series include 'Voices' from children, quality improvement and health policy), launched online improvements and expanded the global health section, as well as working on the supporting social media channels and groups.
