I am very much looking forward to working with them to represent the views of almost 16,000 Fellows and Members in the UK and internationally. 

“I was particularly pleased to see the high levels of engagement in this year’s elections, with voter turnout significantly up on last year. As the UK’s only multidisciplinary Royal College, we have a unique voice in healthcare and we are proud to use it on behalf of our membership on critical issues including the wellbeing of doctors and other healthcare professionals, and the future of the healthcare workforce.”
