Regional Advisers and Deputy Regional Advisers are College representatives within the region. The Regional Adviser maintains a close contact with RCP Tutors, and together with Deputy Regional Advisers, ensure that Fellows, Members and other colleagues within the region are kept informed of College policy and activities. They are also in an ideal position to bring to the College regional opinions, ideas, doubts, suggestions and criticisms.

The Regional Adviser is also responsible, for undertaking interim reviews in liaison with Postgraduate Dean to those hospitals within his/her region that have been granted limited approval. This is to ensure the recommendations made by the PMETB on General Professional Training are being carried out.

It is important that regular meetings are held between the Regional Adviser, the Deputy Regional Adviser and the collective group of RCP Tutors and Associate Tutors within the region. Where there is a Regional Office this will provide a focus for this activity.
