The RCS International Office: a profile

Abstract

The Royal College of Surgeons of England is an international organisation with members from more than 90 countries. The movement of doctors, patients and surgical innovation across borders has a huge impact on surgery in the UK. The College recognises that an appreciation, understanding and active engagement in international affairs can be usefully brought to bear on the advancement of surgical standards in the UK and abroad, to the benefit of our fellows and members and ultimately their patients.
