The Royal College of Physicians Launches New Website 

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has launched a new website, built by full-service digital agency, Cantarus.

The RCP represents over 40,000 physicians around the world, educating, improving, and influencing for better health and care. Looking to update its digital presence, the membership body selected Cantarus, an Umbraco Platinum Partner agency, to help deliver a website that would better reflect the organisation today. Cantarus brings extensive experience in the healthcare sector, having collaborated with notable healthcare organisations, including NHS Charities Together, the British Medical Association, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

The new website, a testament to the collaboration between the RCP and Cantarus, embodies the RCP's mission and vision. It offers a more streamlined and user-friendly experience, with key enhancements including simpler navigation and information architecture, personalisation features, and significantly improved speed. Built on the fully supported Umbraco v13, the site is more flexible than ever, making it easier for content editors to manage and update and ensuring the RCP's digital presence has the longest lifespan possible. 

Gareth Playford, Senior Digital Engagement Manager at the RCP, comments:

"We are thrilled with our new website so far. Not only does it align more closely with our values and organisational needs, but it sets the foundation for the RCP's future growth. The improved design and functionality will undoubtedly enhance how our members engage and interact with our resources. 

Cantarus stood out to us in particular because of their emphasis on collaboration. We were looking for an agency that felt more like a partner than just a typical client/supplier dynamic, and that's exactly what Cantarus delivered."

Lee Adams, CEO at Cantarus, adds:

"Being chosen to work with the Royal College of Physicians on its primary public website is an absolute privilege. We're very proud to have created a website that showcases the RCP's unique brand and heritage, whilst offering a great UX to members via a clean, accessible and easy to navigate design underpinned by a carefully developed information architecture. This is another example of combining Cantarus' know-how, the incredible Umbraco composable DXP and collaborating with a passionate project team to produce fantastic results!"
