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

The RCP and 20 other leading health organisations have written to the Prime Minister today, following the publication of the Health Equity in England: the Marmot review 10 years on report.

RCP calls for a cross government approach following IPPR report revealing poorest areas hit hardest by public health cuts.

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

With the RCP preparing to poll its members about its stance on assisted dying, Professor Raymond Tallis, emeritus professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Manchester, outlines why the RCP should have a neutral position. 

With the RCP preparing to poll its members about its stance on assisted dying, Dr Amy Proffitt, executive secretary of the Association for Palliative Medicine (APM), argues the case for opposing medical involvement. 

The RCP is to poll its 35,000 members and fellows next month on whether or not there should be a change in the law to permit assisted dying.
