Acknowledging the success of the 2025 Paediatrics & Child Health Divisional Clinical Examination

The 2025 Paediatrics & Child Health (PCH) Divisional Clinical Examination (DCE) was successfully delivered in May-June, marking another year of exceptional collaboration, dedication, and support across our participating hospitals.

This year, 28 hospitals hosted the PCH DCE, with a total of 226 candidates sitting the exam. The smooth delivery of the exams would not have been possible without the outstanding commitment and tireless work of the Local Examination Organisers (LEOs), Administrative Staff, and Regional Examiners, whose efforts ensured a professional and supportive experience for all candidates.

We also extend our appreciation to the wider hospital teams, including Examination Assistants, nursing staff, ward staff, and orderlies, whose behind-the-scenes support was essential to the successful delivery of the examination.

We wish to acknowledge and thank the following hospitals and their teams for their vital contributions to the 2025 PCH DCE.
