Your voice matters: our 2026 membership survey is open
We're seeking your feedback and insights to help us improve how we communicate with you, inform our strategic priorities and deliver the member experience you want.
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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, 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?
We provide links to key information on professional responsibilities, training and the practical considerations you may be facing. Whatever your personal decision, our priority is to support you and ensure children and young people continue to receive safe, high-quality care.
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?
