RACS is considering a proposal to change the name of the College following a request from our Fellowship. RACS Council appointed a working party to progress the matter and it was agreed that an electronic vote of members on the proposed name change will be conducted later in 2022, allowing ample time for member and stakeholder education and engagement.

The working group has agreed to go with the name, Royal Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand College of Surgeons (RAANZCS).

In this episode, otolaryngologist Dr Rachelle Love discusses the details.
