Our annual report presents our key activities and achievements in 2016, as well as outlining our strategy for the future. It is set out under our strategic themes:
- improving care for patients

- leading and supporting our members
- shaping the future of health and healthcare
- investing in our future and building on our heritage.
Summary of income and expenditure
In 2016 our total income was £40.7 million, so has remained broadly stable. As a result of our continued investment in the RCP’s strategy, our expenditure increased by 5% from £40.5 million in 2015 to £42.5 million in 2016. This has been driven mainly by our commitment to improving standards in clinical practice and growth of our education and training work.
