Medical royal colleges

There are a number of medical royal colleges in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Each is responsible for a different speciality within the medical field. They are general charged with supervising the training of doctors within that speciality, although that responsibility has been somewhat taken over by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board in recent years.

The medical royal colleges are listed below. Dates below in brackets are the year of receipt of a Royal Charter. Some of these institutions, however, predate their Royal Charter by many years, for example the Royal College of Surgeons of England had been incorporated as the 'Guild of Surgeons Within the City of London' in the fourteenth century.^[1]
