The RCP confirms Council’s receipt of a letter from five senior officers this morning. The letter, now being circulated on social media, explained the officers, four of whom are also RCP trustees, have asked the president to resign the role.
The RCP also acknowledges the Expression of Concern signed by RCP fellows over the weekend.
The RCP takes these communications extremely seriously. Urgent meetings of Council and the Board of Trustees, as the professional and charitable governance mechanisms for the RCP, are being arranged so that they can be considered as soon as is practicable.
