Royal College of Anaesthetists Tutors have a key role in the delivery of postgraduate anaesthetic training in the UK. We report the results of a postal questionnaire sent to all College Tutors in April 2000. An 89% response rate (253 of 283 Tutors) was received. Respondents were responsible for a median 11 trainees. Forty‐nine Tutors with responsibility for larger numbers of trainees had the assistance of a deputy. The duties of a College Tutor comprised the organisation and delivery of training, appraisal and assessment, and 73% of respondents undertook all of these. In addition, a proportion had other administrative duties. The average time spent on College Tutor duties was 1.6 notional half days. Almost two‐thirds of Tutors received some resources (time or remuneration) for their duties.
