Thanks for doing this Karen - really helpful.
I am compiling comments on the name from all of the other sources and feeding back the results/comments/issues raised to the Project team. Could you let me know the results of the survey when you close it + all of the comments and I will incorporate in my report.

Good debate this – contribution to the survey is now 144 and 22 comments about the word college.
I found this out about the use of Royal – as Anne says it sounds like it has to have a record of establishment and achievement
There are in excess of 900 Chartered Bodies<http://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/140326-Record-of-Charters-Granted.xls>. A Royal Charter is a way of incorporating a body, that is turning it from a collection of individuals into a single legal entity. A body incorporated by Royal Charter has all the powers of a natural person, including the power to sue and be sued in its own right. Royal Charters were at one time the only means of incorporating a body, but there are now other means (becoming a registered company, for example), so the grant of new Charters is comparatively rare. New grants of Royal Charters are these days reserved for eminent professional bodies or charities which have a solid record of achievement and are financially sound. In the case of professional bodies they should represent a field of activity which is unique and not covered by other professional bodies.
At least 75% of the corporate members should be qualified to first degree level standard. Finally, both in the case of charities and professional bodies, incorporation by Charter should be in the public interest.
This last consideration is important, since once incorporated by Royal Charter a body surrenders significant aspects of the control of its internal affairs to the Privy Council. Amendments to Charters can be made only with the agreement of The Queen in Council, and amendments to the body’s by-laws require the approval of the Council (though not normally of Her Majesty). This effectively means a significant degree of Government regulation of the affairs of the body, and the Privy Council will therefore wish to be satisfied that such regulation accords with public policy.

I think the term college has been considered as it follows the “Royal College” approach as per:
Royal College of Surgeons;
Royal College of Physicians;
Royal College of GPs;
Royal College of Gynaecologists etc.
The term Royal reflects having a “Royal Charter” = not sure how that is achieved but perhaps that can only be conferred once the institution has been established.

101 responses so far, College of Occupational Health is winning! Quite a few comments so far on not liking the word ‘College’
Must make it clear that the names for the new single organisation in the survey are not mine, they have been proposed to SOM and FOM. Link is below if you want to contribute.

Dear List
As you know the potential for a single organisation representing a multidisciplinary occupational health is moving along and could be reality if FOM and SOM members vote yes
In preparation a name for the new organisation is currently being discussed – I would love to hear the jisc members views on this so to collate responses I have turned this question into a survey which I will collate and report back as the favourite name.
It will take 1 minute to answer as there is only one question so to participate please click on the following link

Many thanks
Karen
