The role of College Assessor on AACs is extremely important, with the appointment of every NHS consultant key to delivering the highest possible standards of care. The role of the College throughout the recruitment process is to help create good and safe working environments for newly appointed consultants and ensure that appointees are fully trained and the best candidate for the post. College Assessors have a major role to play in advising on the suitability of candidates for appointment.
