Latest news

The latest news from the first week of the public hearings for Module 3 of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry. The RCoA, FICM and Association of Anaesthetists are jointly a Core Participant.
We would like to update you on the most recent decisions and outputs from our ongoing work to implement the EGM resolutions, following our last update in May 2024 and Council and Board of Trustee meetings in July.
At the Royal College of Anaesthetists, we have been shocked and horrified by the recent racist and Islamophobic violence that has taken place in the UK in the past week, and we condemn it in the strongest terms.
The RCoA, together with other leading anaesthetic organisations recommends Trusts and Health Boards decommission their nitrous oxide manifolds, switching to point-of-use cylinders where access to nitrous oxide remains desirable.
