About this workshop 

A dynamic, hands-on session led by RCPCH &Us Volunteers and the Engagement Academy team

Kickstart your morning with a fast paced, practical workshop focused on real-world engagement challenges. In just 30 minutes, you’ll take part in small group and 1:2 coaching conversations, explore hot topics raised by delegates across the conference, and leave with ideas you can use immediately. You’ll also receive a golden ticket to exchange at the RCPCH &Us / Engagement Academy stand for an exclusive engagement toolkit. 
The session is built around real questions and issues raised by delegates — not generic scenarios. You’ll experience a lively rights based icebreaker and a rapid mentoring carousel designed to spark fresh thinking. It’s a rare chance to explore engagement in a small, supportive environment before the conference gets busy.
