The RCP is marking 2 years since the publication of 'Every breath we take: the lifelong impact of air pollution' with a 2018 progress update.

'Improving air quality', a joint report from four select committees published today, calls for a new clean air act, a clean air fund and a national air quality support programme.

Our Future Health is a year-long project from the RCP that will explore the challenges facing doctors and patients in 2018 through podcasts, debates, surveys and events.  

Following the release of the UK government's 'Health impacts of all pollution – what do we know?', RCP president Professor Jane Dacre called its recommendation for health impacts of pollution to be included in all curricula for clinicians in training 'a notably progressive move'. 

The RCP has joined European and global hospital and healthcare organisations in signing the ‘Healthcare Call to Action on Climate Change' ahead of the UN Climate Negotiations, taking place in November in Bonn, Germany.

In support of NHS Sustainability Day, the RCP highlights how healthcare sustainibility has become synonymous with money and how some simple changes could reap large environmental rewards.
