As a leading health organisation aimed at improving patient care and preventing disease worldwide, the RCP is committed to supporting the global response to COVID-19.
The RCP is deeply committed to improving access to clinical research and supporting the integration of research into everyday care. The RCP has produced a strategy to develop, deliver and drive research in the NHS; seeking to address the barriers to equality of access.
Climate change is the biggest global threat to health and the need to act has never been clearer. From respiratory diseases to access to clean water, global warming is negatively affecting the health of people around the world.
Peer support can help staff cope with the stress that comes from their work. New guidance from the RCP and the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) sets out the values, principles and practice of peer support, with an infographic that can be printed out and displayed locally.
The RCP has launched a fundraising appeal to help our members and the health service manage the response and longer-term consequences of the COVID19 pandemic.
The RCP’s members and fellows are treating more patients than ever. We are working with colleagues across the UK to represent the needs of the NHS workforce.
The RCP promotes public health through evidence-based policy work to tackle challenges posed by air pollution and climate change, alcohol, obesity and tobacco.
