RCPCH member briefing 10 Year Health Plan for England
Fundamentally, the success of this plan will also depend on sustained investment in the paediatric workforce. Children’s needs are unique, and these new models of care must be underpinned by adequate staffing, training, and support for professionals working in community settings, alongside equitable funding between children’s and adult’s services.
We see firsthand how tirelessly the entire child health workforce works to protect, treat, and empower children and young people. It’s great a pleasure to see so many of our own members, fellows and honorary fellows and those in the wider child health workforce recognised for their efforts in the Birthday Honours.
