The Academy’s policy work is shaped with the views of wider society through public dialogue. We work to get expert patient and public voices in our work, and available to the media to add their experience. The diversity of talent amongst our experts ensures that the Academy is able to deal with complex health issues, which extend beyond the traditional boundaries of medicine.
