We have two distinct areas of international work: First, global humanitarian programmes with governmental and non-governmental local partners in low- and middle-income settings including Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Nepal and Lebanon. Second, our examinations and training work that are available globally through test centres.

We will strengthen our international work and reputation to:

  • Contribute to reducing rates of maternal, newborn and child mortality and morbidity in selected strategic countries
  • Increase the number of clinical examinations available to members around the world and support the global examination network in assessment changes
  • Provide more eLearning opportunities for members globally

We will complete the following actions to reach our goal:

  • Continue with high-quality programme delivery in global settings and increase awareness of our
    high-impact humanitarian activities
  • Provide international members with targeted digital services, resources and eLearning content, relevant to their geographic and cultural settings

By the end of 2027 we will know we are successful when...

  • Reduced rates of maternal, newborn and child mortality within the global settings where we are working
  • Increased access to clinical examinations and learning opportunities for international members, increasing knowledge and child health expertise
  • Members have recognised nomenclature that is synonymous with successful completion of the three College Theory Exams
