The next Annual General Meeting will now be an online-only event on Tuesday 2 June, a few weeks after RCPCH Conference, and we'll invite all members to join us.
Volunteering is vital to our work, with over 3,000 members contributing each year. Can you help us shape paediatrics, support future generations and influence healthcare while you gain leadership, networks and invaluable professional growth?
We are reviewing the programme of assessment for doctors in postgraduate paediatric training, to ensure that the assessments taken in the workplace and our examinations are fair, fit for purpose and sustainable.
Thirty years of paediatrics with RCPCH. Millions of moments that mattered. We invite you to share your story: what do you enjoy most about your work and what keeps you going even in those challenging days?
Our new 'Greener paediatrics' pages give you tips, useful resources and guidance for integrating environmentally responsible practices into your everyday clinical work.
We're excited to return to Birmingham for this year's conference from 11 to 13 May, on the theme, '30 years of RCPCH: Reflect, celebrate and inspire'. Can you join us?
