Advertising with the Royal College of Anaesthetists
Reach a specialist audience through a respected College with a strong reputation, a clear purpose and a wide range of communication channels.
The UK's standard-setter for anaesthesia
The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) sets the standard for anaesthesia, intensive care and pain medicine across the UK, safeguarding patient care and championing its members. Its work spans education and professional development, training, research and patient engagement.
The College supports a community of more than 24,000 fellows and members at every stage of their careers — from medical students and anaesthetists in training through to senior consultants and internationally recognised specialists. Alongside its UK membership of hospital-based doctors, the College has a growing international audience.
The Royal College of Anaesthetists sits at the centre of a wider family of professional bodies, each representing a distinct but related discipline within perioperative and critical care medicine. Two further faculties, The Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM) and The College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) operate under the College, each with its own membership, governance, and professional identity, while remaining closely tied to the RCoA.
The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA)
RCoA is the parent organisation — the professional body responsible for the training, standards, and continuing development of anaesthetists across the UK, from those just starting their training through to senior consultants.
The Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM)
FPM is the professional body for specialists in pain medicine. It is responsible for the training, assessment, practice and continuing professional development of specialist medical practitioners in the management of pain in the UK, and brings a multidisciplinary perspective to a discipline that sits at the intersection of several areas of medicine.
The College of Intensive Care Medicine
The college of ICM is the professional body for intensive care medicine. Its members include the doctors who lead and deliver critical care services, Advanced Critical Care Practitioners, and Critical Care Pharmacists — reflecting the genuinely multidisciplinary nature of the modern critical care team.
