‘Future care planning is relevant at every stage of life and can include people with diminished or fluctuating capacity,’ says @ProfMarkTaubert.
In our latest blog he outlines how Wales has reshaped its national approach, placing person-centred care, equity and shared decision making at its core: ow.ly/Hmsp50XN5ab

Watch @RCPhysicians regional adviser, Dr Ben Thomas, discussing why we need to address #healthinequalities in Wales.
Our manifesto is calling on the next Welsh government to develop a cross-government action plan on health inequalities. rcp.ac.uk/media/4yam35dg/the…
Dr @SachaLMoore discusses one of the most urgent issues facing the #NHS in Wales – the workforce crisis.
81% of doctors in Wales say that NHS staffing is inadequate with 53% reporting lack of access to necessary equipment or services.
This must change rcp.ac.uk/policy-and-campaig…
Developed with senior NHS Wales doctors, our new manifesto sets out three key priorities for the next Welsh government, we are calling for:
🟢a long-term NHS workforce plan to recruit, retain and support doctors across Wales
🟢cross-government action on prevention and health inequalities, including bold measures to tackle poverty, obesity, tobacco and clean air
🟢radical transformation of social care, with a fully costed plan to address capacity, delays and eliminate corridor care.
Without urgent action, pressures on #NHS staff and services will rise, undermining the ability of physicians to deliver safe and effective care across Wales.
Read the manifesto for our vision of building a sustainable health and social care system: rcp.ac.uk/policy-and-campaig…
Today we’re launching our manifesto, ‘The road to recovery’, for the Senedd 2026 election, calling on all political parties to commit to urgent action to address the workforce crisis, tackle health inequalities and fix social care in Wales.
Thrilled to be part of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Cymru launch of the manifesto for Senedd 2026 👏♥️ It's time to prioritise our workforce.

Our aim is to identify people with fragility fractures, treat for underlying hidden silent condition: Osteoporosis, achieve @WelshGovernment objectives as per 'A Healthier Wales' and @RoyalOsteoSoc 80/50/80 standard and continue to implement @RCP_FFFAP recommendations @RCPWales
New commentary from Dr Inder Singh (@SinghI01) & the @BevanCommission shows how investment and a clear strategy are delivering real results.
With more specialist staff and more patients getting treatment, it's a huge step forward for Bone Health.

Air pollution is a major threat to health including asthma, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
It has improved over several decades but we can reduce it, and the diseases it causes, significantly.
This Royal College of Physicians report lays out the harms and things we can do.
Air pollution must be recognised as a public health issue.
For #CleanAirDay we are publishing our new report 'A breath of fresh air', which highlights the growing evidence about the increased range of health impacts linked to air pollution. With impacts on both mortality and healthy life expectancy, the effects of toxic air on individuals, society, the economy and the #NHS are huge.
🔗Read the new report: ow.ly/F3yq50Wc7wr
RCP Cymru Wales retweeted
Our report ‘A breath of fresh air’ sets out 19 recommendations:
🔵 action to reduce pollution at source – including emissions from wood burning, agriculture, transport and indoor pollutants
🔵a UK-wide public health campaign on air pollution
🔵a cross-departmental indoor air quality strategy to address exposures
🔵identifying pathways towards the delivery of the World Health Organization’s 2021 global air quality guidelines on air pollution levels
🔵targeted support to protect the most vulnerable and affected communities.
