Advisory Appointments Committees (AAC)

What is an AAC?

An Advisory Appointments Committee (AAC) is an interview panel for a consultant or a specialty doctor in an NHS Trust. This system was put in place by parliamentary legislation in 1996.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) must provide an independent representative to sit on any NHS interview for a non-training doctor post in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. The College also supports a similar system, the National Panelists Scheme, in Scotland.

The College recognises the importance of ensuring that services for children are designed to provide high quality care as close to home as possible.

National health policy changes, the proposed reforms to the NHS, changes to the way that doctors work and improvements in our understanding of disease mean that services need to adapt and respond to demands and needs.
