Video: Is the RCGP's motto still fit for purpose?

13 October 2017

RCGP chair Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard explained why she loves the RCGP's motto Cum Scientia Caritas, which means 'scientific knowledge applied with compassion', during a Question Time-style debate at the RCGP annual conference.

Professor Stokes-Lampard said GPs should use science in the way that patients need and want, not in the way someone prescribes from above.
