Research-active hospitals have improved outcomes for patients and many doctors regard research as an important part of their job and a very positive experience. 

The BMA and the RCP have published decision-making guidance for doctors on clinically-assisted nutrition and hydration for patients who lack the capacity to consent.

RCP president Professor Jane Dacre outlines how putting social care in the spotlight could improve the fortunes of the NHS.

The RCP's special adviser on obesity, Professor John Wass, comments on the release of the government's strategy for addressing obesity in children.

This live streamed event on Thursday 2 June (3–4.15pm) will give insight into the improvement work taking place at Future Hospital development sites.
