The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) is a professional body in the United Kingdom that represents and sets standards for doctors specialising in paediatrics (child health). The RCPCH is responsible for training, assessment and continuing professional development of paediatricians.
One of the key assessments conducted by the RCPCH is the Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (MRCPCH) examination. This exam is designed to test the knowledge, skills and competencies of doctors who have completed their core paediatric training and wish to pursue a career in paediatrics. Upon successful completion of all three parts of the MRCPCH exam, doctors are awarded the MRCPCH qualification. This qualification is a prerequisite for further training and specialization in paediatrics, and it is often required for career progression within the field.
