Royal Contacts and Regional Advisors

Notes to read before submitting a JD/Requesting a Royal College Representative:

If a Regional Advisor (RA) is required to approve a JD within their own hospital they will arrange to send this to a colleague for approval.

Job Descriptions for ST3+/SpR posts do not need to be approved by the Royal College or Faculty but it may be worth sending to the Regional Advisor/Specialty Advisor for information, unless otherwise indicated.

For Foundation Trusts ‘approval’ is not required for Job Descriptions but guidance is available on most Royal College websites on writing Job Descriptions.

Most Royal College’s need a minimum of 8 weeks’ notice of the AAC interview date. Some Royal will approach and organise a Representative directly on your behalf while some you will need to contact directly and arrange with them.
