Dr Kirsten Donnelly, ST4 trainee in palliative medicine at The Christies NHS Foundation Trust, shares her experience of training and working in palliative medicine, and what influenced her in choosing the specialty.
Geriatric medicine is an exciting and rapidly growing speciality focused on the care of older people living with frailty, who have multiple conditions and complex care needs.
Rehabilitation medicine offers an opportunity of working with patients who have complex difficulties and, with other professionals, seeing them through to a good outcome for both themselves and their families.
Respiratory medicine is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and care of adults of all ages with a wide range of respiratory and related conditions.
The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) provides an opportunity for specialties to come together and speak with a united voice on issues that affect the entire profession.
The RCP has jointly produced recommendations on cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPM) with the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and in liaison with the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
