We recently held our third cardiometabolic disease prevention summit, focused on education and training 🩺

Discussions across the day looked at current postgraduate training, the challenges of delivering cardiometabolic services, and how we better equip the future workforce.

These conversations are an important part of improving prevention, earlier risk identification and long-term patient outcomes.

RCP president, Professor Mumtaz Patel, said:

'If we’re serious about prevention, we need to equip clinicians with the knowledge, confidence and support to act earlier and implement in practice. That means strengthening how cardiometabolic prevention is taught and applied across training pathways, in line with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, so it becomes part of everyday clinical practice, not an added extra.'

Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for contributing to such a valuable and practical discussion 👏

🌍 What does it mean to practise medicine at population scale?

At #RCPMED26, Dr Emma Vaux, Dr Amrita D’Souza, Professor Philippa Matthews, Dr Hilal Al Saffar and Dr Waheed Arian explored the challenges of delivering safe, effective care in complex and high-pressure environments - from scaling hepatitis B treatment globally to managing the clinical and public health demands of mass gatherings such as the Hajj.

The session highlighted the importance of early warning systems, surge planning and global collaboration as health systems continue to face growing pressures worldwide.

During the session, Professor Philippa Matthews was also presented with a certificate in recognition of delivering The Lady Estelle Wolfson lecture: ‘Scaling up hepatitis B treatment to reach global elimination targets – 300 million reasons’.

At #RCPMED26 we launched our 2026–30 strategy — setting a clear direction for how we support physicians and help shape the future of healthcare and the NHS.

Built through engagement with our members and fellows, the strategy reflects what physicians told us matters most: a college that listens, supports and speaks up for the profession and patients.

Our four priorities:
🟣 Connection
🟡 Standards
🟢 Voice
🔵 Renewal

Our president, professor Mumtaz Patel, said: “This is a strategy built on listening. Now it is time to act.”

Together, we can strengthen our profession, improve patient care and help shape a healthier future for all.
