This guidance emphasises the place of NEWS2 in managing patients with COVID-19.

The RCP has produced a new resource to help clinicians implement treatment following the calculation of a patient’s NEWS2 score.

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

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.

As healthcare searches for the next big breakthrough, Dr Matt Inada-Kim argues that the next great advance will not be a cure, but a change in the way we work as a system.
