Welcome to CPHIG

Welcome to the new website of the Child Public Health Special Interest Group (CPHIG). The aims of CPHIG are:

To raise the profile of child public health (CPH) among paediatricians and public health practitioners;

• To assist in developing public health policy in regard to families and children;
• To define and develop the training in CPH among the two disciplines;
• To clarify working practices in CPH and share examples of good practice;
• To identify topics for child health advocacy by the FPH and RCPCH;
• To enable better communication between colleagues in the field, in particular by electronic means.

CPHIG is a group dedicated to the development of child public health within both Paediatrics and Public Health. It is affiliated to the:

• British Association of Community Child Health (BACCH)
• Faculty of Public Health (FPH)
• Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH)

Congratulations to Bella Oliver (aged 11) who came up with this drawing when CPHIG was re-designing the logo!
