Publications 

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has an extensive range of publications, designed to promote the highest standards in healthcare today. We have a wide readership, which is primarily physicians and other healthcare professionals, but also includes government advisors, policy-makers and the general public.

The RCP publishes the bi-monthly journal, Clinical Medicine, plus Commentary, both of which are free of charge for our Fellows and Members. Clinical Medicine is also available to external subscribers.

In addition, the College publishes guidelines, working party reports and audit results.

All publications can be purchased from our online bookshop and the full A-Z publications list can be sorted by title, date published and type of publication.
