The RCP welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Department of Health and Social Care's consultation on the NHS’s vision of the future of healthcare.

The RCP’s response calls on the government to introduce a positive and welcoming migratory system for doctors to ensure a sustainable and safe NHS.

The RCP has outlined the existing workforce challenges faced by the NHS, its reliance on recruitment from overseas and our concerns for the UK to attract physicians to the NHS in the future.
