A new year is upon us, and despite the extraordinary challenges that we’ve faced in 2020, we remain hugely optimistic for the year ahead.
To mark the dawn of 2021, the College asked our friends and members – many of whom are healthcare practitioners who’ve worked on the frontline during the pandemic – to share their hopes for the coming months.
In January, the College of Medicine launches our own ten-year plan for healthcare, ‘Hope for the Future’, a detailed manifesto written by some of the most influential names in UK health, which lays out how to put patients, people and communities first.
We look forward to your support, and wish you all a very happy new year…
