Ask your MP to speak up for child health in Westminster

With your MP back in the consituency for summer recess, it is a great time for them to learn more about the issues important to their constituents. Your voice can encourage them to become a champion for child health and paediatrics in Westminster. 

We've created this e-action to make it as easy as possible to email your MP. It takes just a few minutes and is open to College members living in the UK.

What are we asking? 

To often the unique needs of children and young people are neglected in government policymaking. That's why we want MPs in Westminster, whether in government or opposition, to be supported to speak up for paediatricians and child health. You could help encourage your Westminster MP to use their position to ensure the child health perspective isn't lost and to champion policy change. 
 
While health is devolved, your MP in Westminster will still have the opportunitiy to speak up in debates and questions on issues that impact children's health and wellbeing. 
 
We've drafted a template email for your MP that explains why they should speak up and how the College can support them to do so.
