  • RCOphth

The RCOphth has received requests for advisers to sit on the following consultant advisory appointment committees. Members, with at least one year’s experience as a consultant, are able to support these requests. All interviews will be virtual unless the trust has called for an in-person interview.  This role is important to ensure that the job description and suitability of the candidates are of a high standard. Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, AACs can be conducted remotely via Skype or Zoom.

RCOphth requirements for an AAC adviser are:

  • AAC advisers are required to be in an active NHS substantive post
  • Must be an RCOphth member
  • No current or conflict of interest with the Trust you are volunteering to assist with
