Our WIDE Journey

Our approach to Wellbeing, Inclusion, Diversity and Equality continues to evolve as we listen, learn and build on the progress we have made.

WIDE is connected to RCPI’s strategic direction and our wider commitment to responsible and sustainable organisational practice. RCPI’s 2025–2029 Strategic Plan recognises the importance of wellbeing and inclusion across our organisation and our postgraduate medical education and training activities.

Our commitment to wellbeing, inclusion, diversity and equality extends beyond our workplace. As a postgraduate medical training college, we recognise the role we can play in supporting greater inclusion and equity through medical education and training, healthcare, advocacy, partnerships and our wider engagement with society.

Our 2027–2030 WIDE Strategy will build on this foundation, setting out our priorities and actions for the next stage of our journey.

We are also working towards Investors in Diversity Gold accreditation, supporting our ambition to embed inclusive practice throughout RCPI and to continually assess where we are making progress and where we can do more.
