Conscious of its responsibilities to its Fellows and Members who are
paediatricians, the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) is anxious to play its
part, along with others, in maintaining and improving standards in paediatrics.
Recognising the importance and prominence of the specialty within the generality
of specialist medicine, and alongside general internal medicine, it has
established a Paediatric Board, reporting directly to Council, which will deal
with and advise on all matters concerning paediatrics and child health, and thus
enhance the autonomy and influence of the specialty both within the College and
on medical affairs in general. It will do this in close association with the
British Paediatric Association (BPA) which will nominate members of the Board. In
particular the RCP will continue to set standards in paediatrics through
examinations, accreditation, representatives on consultant advisory appointment
committees, and its membership of the GMC and the Conference of Medical Royal
Colleges and their Faculties, to which the Paediatric Board will make a
substantial contribution. The network of regional paediatric advisers to the RCP
will ensure that the Board is kept in touch with paediatric opinion throughout
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Relationships with Scottish paediatrics and
paediatricians will be important, for example, in the organisation and
development of the MRCP(UK) examination and its paediatric Part II. Links with
paediatricians in the Irish Republic exist through the Joint Committee on Higher
Medical Training.
