The PCP has recently carried out extensive work to make the RCP's Grade 1 listed building as accessible as possible to everyone, including visitors with physical, sensory and other disabilities.
College staff are at hand to assist you in any way if required. If you have further queries, would like to arrange a visit or discuss any special requirements, please contact the reception to talk to the RCP Bedell.
Disabled persons are very welcome to park their vehicles in the RCP car park. Please notify us in advance and a space will be allocated. Please also let us know if you require any assistance on your arrival at the College.
