More system-wide acknowledgement and support is now urgently needed to protect clinicians from harm write Professor Andrew Goddard, president of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and Dr Mumtaz Patel, Vice President RCP Global in The Lancet.
The RCP has responded to the launch of a new predictive risk model to help clinicians identify adults with multiple risk factors that make them more vulnerable to COVID-19.
The RCP has welcomed publication of government plans for new NHS legislation in England, which would begin to be implemented in 2022 if passed into law.
The eighth survey of RCP fellows and members shows that that despite the positive news about vaccinations, the pressures placed on doctors by the pandemic are taking a significant toll.
The RCP has responded to the publication of Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty’s first independent annual report ‘Health trends and variation in England', which argues for more action to address health inequalities.
