RCPCH – Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health

In summer 2023 the RCPCH launched RCPCH Progress+, which is a two-level paediatric training programme in the UK. This is where paediatricians choose to apply to train in a paediatric sub-specialty, such as oncology.

The Progress+ curriculum provides a framework for paediatric training, and outlines the Learning Outcomes and Key Capabilities required at each stage before attaining the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). The RCPCH Progress+ syllabi support the curriculum with further guidance on how the Learning Outcomes can be achieved and demonstrated, with sub-specialty Learning Outcomes. You can download the Progress+ syllabi for this sub-specialty and for specialty training (generic) below.  Please see link for the RCPCH website.

CCLG – Paediatric Oncology Trainees Group

The Paediatric Oncology Trainees Group (POTG) is a group of trainee doctors with an interest in paediatric oncology.  The aim of the group is to promote interest and education in paediatric oncology as well as acting as a valuable forum by which the next generation of doctors caring for children with cancer can meet, get to know each other and share news, views and information.
