The RCP was delighted to see the contribution of physicians acknowledged in the King’s Birthday Honours.
RCP President Dr Sarah Clarke said: “As the NHS approaches its 75th birthday next month it is brilliant to see the enormous contribution of physicians recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours."
“Congratulations to all the RCP fellows who are so deserving of this honour. Never has it been a more challenging time to be a doctor as we face multiple pressures while trying to do the best for our patients and the service. Thank you all for your continued commitment and the difference you make every day across the breadth of specialities we cover."
