Children’s right to the best possible health

Children's right to the best possible health. A child rights curriculum for health professionals on implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This material is freely available for teaching about children's rights in health care to health and allied professionals. It has been developed by a joint group of the Royal College of Paediatrics and CHild Health (UK) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (USA) and is owned by these two organisations. It is primarily intended for trainees in paediatrics but could be used by nurses, allied professionals and psychologists etc, ideally in mixed discipline groups.Tony Waterston (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)
