We definitely need to ask for more.

I imagine there would be similar feelings wherever it was based - though I gather the population-weighted centroid of the UK is (or at least was) somewhere around Derby which would be nice.

I'd hope they could focus more on offerings to and representation of those outside the M25 though!

It is interesting that we are now back discussing an issue that was highlighted the last time we moved. This time however it is much easier for members to discuss like this. I watch with interest..Will this finally make the difference?
As a born and bred Londoner (I’ve spent the majority of my life there), I’d love somebody from @rcoanews.bsky.social to explain why no apparent consideration was given to having the main buildings outside of London. Financial due diligence? Majority of members OUTSIDE of London?

I ended up leaving the RCoA for a number of reasons, one of which was what felt like a degree of London-centricity.

Completely. A move out isn’t on the cards. They’ve said they don’t use the building as it is, so what do they need?

They need to really address the question of what is the point of a grand college building. Nobody is using it and modern working practices have changed wildly.

As a member I’ve never felt the need to go the college building since drinks and nibbles after passing my FRCA. There’s rarely any events, my engagement with them can be completely remote. They will need a wholesale change it what they provide if we are to support this.

And to keep it more lighthearted….I’m reminded of one of my favourite Xmas cartoons. Also a replay of the most listened to music of the year 😄. A definite theme!

Recent thoughts on this QT’d below.

The direction of travel with other medical Royal colleges (eg. the RCPLon) is to move stuff outside London, and there’s no way we’ll get a building that does everything we want we can afford in the capital.
Consultation open on the @rcoanews.bsky.social moving out of Red Lion Square.

By all means keep an address, a front office and a couple of meeting rooms in London, but surely the time has come to move the main college building to Leeds, Manchester or Birmingham?

Today marks 6 years since a special dog joined our family. He was two when he joined us. Ted is often called the “stupidest clever dog we know” but despite all the missing socks, laparotomies, bonkers food driven behaviour, I’d not be without him!

As well as medical (anaesthetic/ICU things, likely to see pics of the dogs and music relate fare). And no doubt a bit of Crystal Palace too

Morning all!

inspired by @emergencybod.bsky.social, I thought I’d introduce myself.

I am an Anaesthetic & ICM Consultant , Clinical Director in ICM, based in the UK.

I enjoy photography, dogs and currently scratching a childhood itch in learning how to DJ (DnB).

So, a diverse range of posts!
