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.
The RCP strategy 2015-2020 was developed to highlight the college's 5 year mission, outlining ways that we improve care for patients, develop physicians through their careers, lead and support members, and shape the future of health and healthcare.
We lead the profession by supporting and inspiring our members to meet the challenges of practising medicine today. Our members are our greatest asset – we listen to, support and learn from them.
‘Influencing the way that healthcare is designed and delivered’ is one of the Royal College of Physicians' (RCP's) three key strategic aims. The policy and campaigns team works toward that aim by engaging with the government, the NHS, our royal college partners and others.
