Ahead of the Chancellor’s Spending Review, RCP president Professor Andrew Goddard reflects on what health and social care needs both now and beyond the pandemic.

The RCP has responded to the Health and Social Care Committee's report 'Social Care: Funding and Workforce'.

The RCP has responded to the government's announcement of a new adult social care winter plan.

As part of RCP’s work on the Health for Care campaign, ­­­­­Dr Jonathan Steel, RCP lead fellow for social care reflects on why the UK Government must fix social care.

Today the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and 29 medical specialist societies and faculties have written to the Chancellor ahead of this week’s budget. In the letter we highlight the scale of the challenges facing our NHS and social care services and the need for the Government to act now.

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has joined the BMA and other medical bodies in signing a letter to the Chancellor, urging him to use the budget to provide a long-term solution to the pension taxation crisis.

Professor Andrew Goddard, president of the Royal College of Physicians said:

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP)’s Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme (FFFAP) has today published its annual National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) report.

More than 50,000 life-altering fractures could be avoided if preventative services were made available more widely, a new report from the RCP finds.

The RCP has joined a coalition of 15 health organisations in calling on the UK government to create a sustainable social care system in England.
