Medical Care is a web based planning resource produced by RCP in partnership with UK’s medical specialty societies. The updated version includes further information on workforce and medical specialty specific job planning and additional content on diabetes and endocrinology services.
Medical Care is a valuable resource for clinicians and managers working in the NHS. The resource provides support for:

This is a rich resource for the specialty and we need to make everybody ware of this.
