Influence

The College influences health policy to improve the quality of care and patient safety. We believe that health policy should be evidence-based, where possible, and we work to ensure that the views and experiences of physicians are taken into account by policymakers throughout the UK. We do this through the development and advocacy of our own strategic policy, by responding to a wide range of consultations, and by engaging with policymakers and other stakeholders

The Quality Governance Collaborative (RCPE QGC) is an independent, neutral, non-governmental body committed to a new approach to governance in health and social care. We bring together multi-professional groups, developing national and international collaborations that aim to highlight issues and improve the practice of quality governance. 

We work to ensure that the views and experiences of physicians are taken into account by policymakers throughout the UK. We do this through the development and advocacy of our own strategic policy, by responding to a wide range of consultations, and by engaging with policymakers and other stakeholders. Sharing the views of our Members and Fellows, we aim to stimulate media, public, political and medical discussion about issues important to physicians and the future of healthcare in the UK.
