The College focuses on several areas which pose challenges to the NHS across the UK, including: funding; the structure and governance of the NHS; workforce recruitment and retention; and Brexit. The College submission suggests that by rethinking the approach to focus on long-term and sustainable solutions, we can achieve a world-class workforce delivering the best possible patient care safely.  In that regard, we believe that doctors – and indeed other health professionals - must be given a greater say in addressing how money is spent within the service. That is why we will continue to call for a working group to be set up, to act as a link between the Government and the clinicians, health experts and managers who are leading the NHS.
