The Royal College of Physicians has vast experience in setting healthcare standards and improving patient care in the UK. We have a responsibility to use this experience to support our global network of members and fellows and to improve access to quality healthcare worldwide.

We’re educating physicians and supporting them to fulfil their potential. Here are some highlights of our work in 2021.

Despite the enduring impact of COVID-19 on our activities, we continued to deliver examinations as well as excellent teaching and training opportunities, conferences and CPD. We worked hard to ensure that clinicians taking crucial exams experienced the least disruption possible, taking innovative steps to move courses and exams online and adding extra capacity.

We’re educating physicians and supporting them to fulfil their potential. Here are some highlights of our work in 2022.

As pandemic restrictions were lifted, many of our education activities resumed in person, with physicians enjoying the chance to get together, network and receive peer support. We also offered a wealth of online learning opportunities, including webinars, podcasts and revision aids. For trainee doctors waiting to sit exams, we worked hard to expand the number of slots offered for PACES (Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills).
