In the latest issue
Commentary continues to bring you topical updates and insights on the COVID-19 pandemic. In this edition, we highlight and celebrate the RCP's membership, and their continued hard work and dedication. In this issue:
- No time for poor research – RCP president Professor Andrew Goddard on the difficulties of living in uncertain times, and the importance of evidence-based medical interventions.
- COVID-19 and trainees – All across the country, there are examples of trainees showing leadership and innovation in their response to the pandemic. We share some good practice in this article.
- 'DNR' orders: what's gone wrong? – Confusion among some patients about 'do not resuscitate' has been exacerbated in these increasingly busy times. How can doctors work to put things right?
- Ethical dilemmas and research – As the NHS looks to restart, reset and restore clinical services, ethical questions await clinicians, particularly regarding research.
- Returning to work: on the frontline – Many retired physicians have returned to the NHS. We hear their experiences, as well as clinical academics who have re-deployed, and other healthcare workers.
- Working with our regions – The RCP continues to seek feedback from its network of regional advisers to find out how COVID-19 is affecting our members.
- COVID-19 and mental capacity – The issue of assessing mental capacity is more important than ever. We speak to experts about this nuanced issue.
April's magazine also includes a special guest article from the Faculty Pharmaceutical Medicine, Professor Sir Michael Marmot writing on health inequalities, and we introduce the new chair of the RCP's Patient and Carer Network.
