Your chance to contribute to the RCP governance review

Following the commissioning of an external governance review by the RCP board of trustees, views are being sought on the college’s governance from a wide cross-section of interested parties.

The review, which is being carried out by GGI Development and Research (GGI), will focus on the effectiveness of the trustee board, its relationship and interactions with RCP council, culture and conduct, governance structures, decision-making and oversight and strategic alignment of the board and council.

Throughout July and August 2025, the following key groups will be sent invitations to contribute online in interviews, focus and group meetings or through a survey:

Purpose of the review

The review is aimed at providing the college with a series of objective and practical recommendations to help inform the organisation’s governance in the coming years. GGI aims to deliver their reflections in the Autumn. The review was commissioned in light of the findings of The King’s Fund independent learning review.

The interviews, groups and survey will be based on the key lines of enquiry which align with the Charity Governance Code.

Organisational purpose	Leadership
Integrity	Decision making, risk and control
Board effectiveness/Equality, diversity and inclusion	Openness and accountability

The review will also include observations of meetings and an assessment of written materials, triangulated with established principles of governance best practice drawn from GGI’s cross-sector experience.
