From the time of its foundation the College has been represented on Advisory Appointments Committees for consultant posts. One of the College nominated assessors' responsibilities is to supply confidential information on applicants, and those interviewed, to the Registrar by completing a form containing information on the number of applicants, numbers interviewed and their quality together with any deficiencies in qualifications and experience in those seen and those appointed. Prior to 1979 the assessors gave their opinion on qualifications and experience on all applicants but the form then in use did not allow for any quantitative analysis. Since the introduction of a new form in that year, such an analysis has been possible. A summary of assessors reports from 1974 to 1977 was published in the Bulletin.
