This briefing, produced before the Westminster Hall debate on 28 April 2016, explains why the RCP believes that digital patient records will benefit the NHS.
The briefing outlines the RCP's support for a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages to improve health and reduce levels of obesity and overweight conditions.
We need an NHS that puts patients first. We need a system that enables doctors, nurses and others on the front line of the NHS to deliver the safest, most effective care, in whatever setting is most appropriate for each patient’s needs.
The RCP'S briefing ahead of the second reading of Rob Marris MP's Private Members Bill Assisted Dying (No.2). Our position is based on the findings of the survey conducted with members and fellows in autumn 2014.
