Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Annual Review 2016
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges is the coordinating body for the UK and Ireland’s 22 medical royal colleges and faculties. They ensure patients are safely and properly cared for by setting standards for the way doctors are educated, trained and monitored throughout their careers.
Healthcare is complex and increasingly there are issues where a cross-specialty perspective is needed. It’s the Academy’s job to ensure this work is done effectively and then acted upon by policy makers, regulators and clinicians.
