The British Association of General Paediatrics aims to promote General Paediatric care for children in the UK.

It facilitates communication of the views and experience of clinicians working in General paediatrics.

It promotes General Paediatrics by fostering research and arranging scientific meetings and is open to all clinicians working in the field of General and Acute Paediatrics

Our aims are:

To have a clearer process for general paediatricians to have a voice within the College – for example:

•RCPCH General Paediatric CSAC activity

•General paediatric training

•Interaction with other subspecialties

•Workforce and service planning

•Developing a vision for General Paediatrics

To contribute more actively to guideline development and the NICE process

To have closer links with research groups within the College e.g. College Research Division, Medicines for Children Research Network

To set priorities for research in general paediatrics

To motivate, support and guide trainees who wish to become general paediatricians

The BAGP can ensure that the voice of general paediatrics is heard, but can only do this with your support. I hope you will decide to join the Association.
