Almost 80% of hospital doctors say delays to transferring patients out of hospital is the main pressure point this winter, according to a poll conducted by the RCP.
The RCP believes current NHS overseas visitor charging regulations are having a direct impact on individual health and have potential implications for public health.
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.
Less than a third of doctors say they have been asked to take part in planning for winter, despite last winter being one of the worst on record for the NHS.
The RCP has been commissioned by NHS England to provide recommendations for the medicinal use of cannabis-based products, to coincide with new regulations coming into force on 1 November 2018.
The RCP's latest report, Talking about dying: How to begin honest conversations about what lies ahead, explores the reasons that doctors and other healthcare professionals find it hard to talk to patients about dying.
A coalition of royal colleges and health faculties has urged UK chancellor Philip Hammond to use the autumn budget to deliver a long-term investment in adult social care, public health services and the NHS workforce.
Further investment in integration is needed in order to transform health and social care services, says Professor Andrew Goddard in response to the findings of the CQC's annual report.
