Milestones - member magazine

Milestones is our quarterly member magazine. Each edition brings you all the latest College news, along with in-depth features and regular items on life in paediatrics in the UK and around the world.

Summer 2024

In this issue 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.
