About PVJ

The Paediatric Video Journal (PVJ) is an open-access video journal. It publishes short interviews recorded on site at paediatric conferences, and every video is free to watch.

Why short conference interviews

Conferences bring together clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers and students, but much of what is said in the sessions is heard only by the people in the room. A short interview gives a speaker a few minutes to explain their work, their findings or their experience in their own words, and gives colleagues who were not there a quick way to learn from it.

What is in the library

At launch the library holds 123 videos from three conferences:

• RCPCH Conference 2024, Birmingham (RCPCH is the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health)
• RCPCH Conference 2025, Glasgow
• PCCS Conference 2026, Lord's, London (PCCS is the Paediatric Critical Care Society), with 48 interviews

Most videos run for between one and four minutes. Interviewees include clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers and students, as well as parents and young people who take part in research.

How interviews are made

Interviews are recorded at the conference, edited, and then published. Each one appears with the speaker's name and role and a written summary. You can browse the library by conference, topic or speaker. Videos are hosted on the PVJ YouTube channel and are also shared on the PVJ LinkedIn page.

Who it is for

The content is intended for healthcare professionals and is educational. It is not medical advice, and the views expressed are those of the speakers. Our editorial policy explains how we work.
