Our vision, mission and values

Our vision is a world where every child is healthy and well. Our mission is to advance child health practice, shape policy, set educational standards and empower paediatricians. We are led by insights from our members, children and young people. We have four values: include, influence, innovate and inspire.

Our vision

...is a world where every child is healthy and well.

Our mission

...is to advance child health practice, shape policy, set educational standards and empower paediatricians. We are led by insights from our members, children and young people.

Our values are...

Include

I will treat others fairly and with respect, ensuring that my behaviour is appropriate at all times. I will value individual differences, perspectives and contributions.

Influence

I act with integrity, being open and honest, checking and challenging my behaviour and practices to improve working practices, and advance the work of the College.

Innovate

I aim for quality in everything I do, take pride in my work to have the greatest impact on the services provided by the College.

Inspire

I will be inspired by and open to possibilities, seeking to first understand the ideas of others. I will have the courage to embrace change and openly share my ideas freely with others to improve the way we work.

Strategic outlook and our goals

Our strategy for 2024-27 has four strategic goals that are practical and progressive and have distinct outcomes:
