John Appleby, chief economist of the Nuffield Trust, examines how value is defined in healthcare and how it impacts everyday services.

The RCP has officially launched 'RCP annual conference: Medicine 2019', which will take place at Manchester Central Convention Complex on 25–26 April.

Dr Lewis Peake compares international healthcare systems, funding and outcomes, and asks whether it's a question of how or where NHS funding should be spent.

The RCP is delighted by Arts Council England's announcement that the Symons collection of medical objects has been gifted to the RCP museum.

Work has officially begun on The Spine – the RCP's new £35 million northern headquarters in Liverpool – following a recent ceremony to mark the breaking of the ground upon which it will be built.

Given the current workforce and financial issues facing the NHS, should physicians just concentrate on seeing as many patients as they can, as quickly as they can? Professor Namita Kumar says perhaps not.
