About the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is one of the oldest

surgical corporations in the world. Its story
began in the late 1400s when the roles of
surgeons and barbers, both requiring sharp
instruments to practice their trade, were
indistinctly defined as regards such tasks as
bloodletting, lancing, shaving, bandaging
& treating wounds in battle. From its formal
foundation in 1505, the Incorporation of Surgeons and Barbers, now The
Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh has dedicated itself to
promoting the highest standards in surgical education, training and
clinical practice.
Today the College continues to promote the
highest standards in education, assessment
and surgical practice, with a new brand
identity.
As the number of our Fellows and Members
approaches 20,000, in almost 100
countries, The Royal College of Surgeons
of Edinburgh contributes wholeheartedly, directly and indirectly, to the health and well-being of millions,
through the dedication and skills of its strive to achieve the best possible
outcomes for patients in their care.
