In early 2019 the RCP carried out an online survey of its members’ and fellows’ views on the subject of assisted dying.

On 30 March 2020 the RCP published a statement to clarify its position on assisted dying. A copy of that statement is available here.

The RCP has responded to a report by the General Medical Council (GMC) titled Fair to Refer? It explores the disproportionate number of fitness to practise referrals of the black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) doctors made to the GMC.
