On 16 March 1992, Her Majesty the Queen granted a Charter to the College, conferring the rights to use the title ‘Royal’. Thus, from being first the Faculty and then the College of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the College achieved full independence as the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
The Charter itself sets out the aims and powers of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and establishes its basic constitution. The Ordinances, which are scheduled to the Charter, lay down more detailed rules governing the way in which the College functions and runs its activities.
