The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (the Academy) is the membership body for the UK and Ireland’s 23 medical royal colleges and faculties.

Healthcare is complex and there are many issues where a cross-specialty perspective is needed. It is our job to collate our member’s views and coordinate activities so that we can collectively influence and shape healthcare across the four nations of the UK.

This unique position also gives us a leading role in the areas of clinical quality, public health and the education and training of doctors.

The work of the Academy is underpinned by effective representation and engagement with all its stakeholders, from the patient on a ward to the Secretary of State for Health.
