MRCPCH - Foundation of Practice (FOP) theory exam for the Diploma of Child Health (DCH) revision


The DCH recognises competence in the care of children in trainees in specialities allied to paediatrics. Candidates, including GPs and paediatricians, use this as an opportunity to upskill and gain an internationally recognised postgraduate medical diploma.

The DCH comprises two exams: The Foundation of Practice (FOP) theory exam and the Diploma of Child Health (DCH) Clinical exam. The FOP theory exam is shared with the MRCPCH (membership exam). This PassPaeds resource caters for doctors seeking to pass the FOP theory exam. When you register for our online course you will get unlimited access to an expanding bank of over 1,200 questions. All our questions are in the same format as those found in the actual FOP theory exam (best of five and extended matching questions). Questions are based on both previous exam questions and the college syllabus. We focus on core questions that are likely to come up in the exams and constantly review our question bank, making sure that only the questions of the highest quality remain on the site. It is crucial that as you revise you get experience of answering questions under exam conditions. We recognise this and so offer you the opportunity to do practice timed tests as often as you wish for no added cost. These tests can be tailored to suit your needs.
