COVID-19 (Coronavirus) information and updates from RCPI

Information and updates relating to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

The situation regarding COVID-19 is rapidly evolving and we continue to make decisions in line with the latest advice from the Department of Health.

Our primary concern is the health and safety of our doctors, RCPI staff and the public. Regular updates will be published here on our website, providing you with practical updates and helpful resources in these extremely challenging circumstances.

The majority of RCPI employees are now working from home, in line with recommendations from the Department of Health. As a result, the best way to contact us is by email instead of by phone.

I know that those of you who are working on the frontline will do everything you can to support patients, the public, and your colleagues over the coming weeks. I urge you to also take steps to protect your own wellbeing during this difficult time.
