The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has attended the European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG) advisory committee meeting in Brussels to discuss the strengthening of European political agendas in areas such as AMR, health research and health systems assessment. 

Medicine 2021 kicked off with a plenary session hosted by RCP president Professor Andrew Goddard, with guests Matt Hancock MP, Prerana Issar and Professor Eleanor Riley.

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.  

Guidance to protect workers from Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), commonly known as chicken pox or shingles, has been published by the Royal College of Physicians’ Health and Work Development Unit, funded by NHS Plus, and includes a section aimed specifically at employers.
