When women in medicine are given visibility, opportunity and respect, the profession grows stronger for everyone.
RCPE celebrates women by recognising those who came before and those shaping medicine today. From pioneering Fellows who opened doors to present-day physicians advancing care, education and leadership, progress has always been built through collective support.
This International Women’s Day, we stand with the global theme Give To Gain. Together, we continue to raise standards and build systems that support doctors at every stage of their careers.

In 2024 NHS staff reported working unpaid overtime equivalent to at least 49 000 full time employees.

This business of reporting inpatient activity to clinical teams can be tricky. The activity doesn't always take place in the space it's supposed to take place in. And unless we align the activity with responsibility, the data won't be actionable.
