What is it?
The College of Medicine, which launched in October last year (BMJ 2010;341:c6126, doi:10.1136/bmj.c6126), aims to promote holistic medicine in the NHS. Its president is Graeme Catto, former president of the General Medical Council. Its vice president is Ian Kennedy, an expert in medical ethics whose review of children’s health services for the Department of Health for England was published in September (BMJ 2010;341:c5129, doi:10.1136/bmj.c5129).
