From understanding the importance of Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) to reviewing the rota gaps survey results, this issue looks at time management and how we can best support our professional and personal lives. Plus our blueprint for transforming child health services.

Winter 2024 edition

From exploring the role of health play specialists and navigating medical complexity to helping protect paediatricians’ mental health and wellbeing, we examine a range of resources available to help you best support infants, children and young people.

Autumn 2024 edition

We look back at RCPCH Conference 2024 and hear from medical student prize winners and RCPCH &Us. We also get 'Powered up', discussing how to tackle health inequalities with actions, and take a look at life post-CCT from three past trainees.
