The Royal College of Anaesthetists (the College) is committed to ensuring that all examination candidates are treated fairly and consistently during FRCA Examinations. These Regulations allow candidates to request a Review of the conduct of their examination where they believe they may have been treated unfairly, and allege impropriety or bias of some kind. Any decision regarding the request for a Review is made by the Director. Candidates who remain dissatisfied with the Director’s decision and wish to have their case heard by an independent panel may request an Appeal. The procedures that should be followed regarding Appeals and Reviews, including re-calculation and subject access requests in regard to examinations are set out on the following page.
