President's Week
During the week of 4-8 October 2021, the College will host a number of activities that showcase who we are, what we stand for, and what we do.
The week of events takes place near the end of Professor Jackie Taylor’s term as President and will act as a culmination and celebration of how far the College has come during her term in office, building on the strategic positioning and priorities outlined in December 2018.
I want all healthcare staff to have time to listen to and talk to their patients. Time is everything and in a healthcare system that moves too fast with no slack in the system we are not caring adequately for our patients nor for ourselves.
Clare Marney, Consultant in Oral Medicine

Workforce
We are committed to working in partnership with others in government and across the healthcare sector to address the range of challenging workforce issues which impact on the work of our Fellows and Members.
Inclusivity
We are committed to challenging the norm and standing up for equality and diversity. We want our College community to reflect the diversity in the NHS workforce. We are also developing an inclusive culture by examining our boards, committees and conference speakers to ensure a balanced representation. We are very active in seeking to address the imbalance of women in senior medical leadership roles and our President Prof Jackie Taylor is leading by example.
Engagement
Our members are our College and at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to communicating and engaging with our membership creatively and innovatively to achieve our goal of being the ‘Go To’ Royal College.
What we do
Many of us give our time freely to develop curricula, set exam questions, and contribute to the development of good health policy. Each year several thousand hours of our members’ time is given voluntarily, working in partnership with our college staff in pursuit of our purpose to provide relevant, meaningful and inspirational support to other members and prospective members at every stage of their career.
Together we’re a force for good, determined to deliver positive progress for patients and our profession. The challenges of working in modern medicine are complex and demanding – that’s why our profession needs a 21st century College up for the challenges of 21st century medicine.
