Corridor care is now a year-round reality.
Almost 3 in 5 physicians reported delivering care in a temporary space over the summer, according to our latest snapshot survey.
We’re calling on the #NHS and government to:
🔵 protect patients and staff in temporary care environments
🔵 prevent corridor care with better patient flow and timely discharge
🔵 pledge long term investment in social care and public health
🔵 publish data all year round on temporary care environments.

So proud 👏
We made history on Saturday. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
For the first time, we marched in London Pride - loud, proud, and committed to a more inclusive future.
Thank you to the #RCPmembers and staff who walked with us, and to everyone who supported us on the day.

@health_equals are right to highlight the gap in healthy life expectancy.
Everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and where we live affects our health. We must see more done to tackle the things that make us ill in the first place.

Another example of how some – through no fault of their own – literally cannot make choices which can help them lead healthy lives.
This is why a cross-government strategy to tackle factors that make people ill in the first place is needed.

The overwhelming @BMA_JuniorDocs vote in favour of industrial action is a stark indication of just how strongly they feel that the government must do more to value and invest in the workforce. Our statement: rcplondon.ac.uk/news/rcp-sta…

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I'm thinking about this little boy, the same age as my kids, proudly showing a flower to another child, outside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, where they were all murdered moments later. It is so important for us all to remember what happened.
Excellent, inspiring and energising talk from Cath Baxter @ProVoiceCoach on speaking so that others listen. 🎤 Thank you, Cath!#WiL22 #SqueezeTheJuice
Thank you Nurjahan Khatun, Director @ukhomeoffice for being so open and honest about the discrimination you’ve faced through your career. Such an impressive and inspiring talk. #WiL22

A huge achievement for all of us who campaigned for the publication of independent assessments of how many health & care staff we need now & in the future. Very proud! 👏👏👏
Now we just need to see the timeline & the funding to back it…
