Read RACP Quarterly online

RACP Quarterly is our member magazine featuring healthcare and medical news. In Issue Two 2020 we move to our new online platform for this magazine.

After feedback from many of our members about the ongoing carbon footprint of printing and postage of the hard-copy magazine, we intended to transition at the end of this year to an online only publication. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to re-evaluate our plans and bring forward the move to an online only publication for the RACP Quarterly magazine from now and into the future.

In this issue we feature the RACP Fellows recognised in the Australia Day 2020 Honours and the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2020 in both Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Congratulations to the recipients – these awards highlight the outstanding work RACP members do and the importance of that work in local, national and international communities.

This issue also features a range of articles in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

• How are our hospitals and members dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic?
• Supporting trainees through the pandemic
• The race to find a vaccine
• New Telehealth items for physicians and their patients
• The demand for access to Personal Protective Equipment during COVID-19
• Physicians leading the way on opioid treatment during a global pandemic.

Other highlights in this issue include ‘On the frontline of Australia’s worst bushfire season on record’, ‘Guidelines for ethical relationships between health professionals and industry’, ‘Navigating healthcare the Māori way’ and ‘Turning back the clock on heart attacks’.
