Presenting our #PaediatricsLife photo competition finalists!

We recently asked members to send a photo - and caption - that tells a story of their daily life in paediatrics and child health. And, what a creative set of images we got!

We posted them on our new Instagram channel, and asked you to vote for your favourite(s) by 'liking' the post. The most popular are below (in no particular order...), and will be presented to our judging panel, including children and young people, for our final winner of a £250 gift voucher.

Caption: Busy shifts, night duty, crash calls and emergencies are no match to the enthusiasm of our wonderful trainees. Here they are humouring me with our inaugural book club at sunrise. The book is about change. Lots of laughs, insights, coffee and cheese!
