Who has been involved
This project would not have been possible without the support of our volunteers. Here we acknowledge and thank them.
Across a two year period, we have been busy collaborating with paediatricians, experts and young people across the UK to develop our credible vision for the future of paediatrics in the UK, concentrating on four areas – data and evidence, impact of innovation, models of care, and working lives.
Around 120 of our members – from medical students and foundation doctors through to retired consultants – have worked with us across our four workstreams. They have been steered throughout the process by members of our project board.
Around 900 children and young people have also been involved, sharing thousands of ideas, experiences and hopes for continuing the good care they receive into the future, and working collaboratively to find solutions where there are areas for development.
The Paediatrics 2040 project has been led by a dedicated project board, who have been crucial in shaping this work across the last two years.
