The RCOG supports best practice in the recruitment process for consultants by nominating suitable representatives for Advisory Appointment Committees (AAC) panels.
The role of AAC assessors
AAC assessors ensure recruitment decisions align with national guidelines and uphold the College’s standards. To secure an RCOG assessor for your panel:
- Provide at least 8–12 weeks’ notice of the interview date.
For full details about the AAC assessor process, including eligibility and expectations, refer to the RCOG AAC Guidance (for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland).
Please note:
- Assessors should not serve on AAC panels for their own trust or where conflicts of interest may arise.
