title: Royal College of Anaesthetists Tutors. A survey of their duties and resources.
abstract: Royal College of Anaesthetists Tutors have a key role in the delivery of postgraduate anaesthetic training in the UK. We report the results of a postal questionnaire sent to all College Tutors in April 2000. An 89% response rate (253 of 283 Tutors) was received. Respondents were responsible for a median 11 trainees. Forty-nine Tutors with responsibility for larger numbers of trainees had the assistance of a deputy. The duties of a College Tutor comprised the organisation and delivery of training, appraisal and assessment, and 73% of respondents undertook all of these. In addition, a proportion had other administrative duties. The average time spent on College Tutor duties was 1.6 notional half days. Almost two-thirds of Tutors received some resources (time or remuneration) for their duties.
