Quality improvement: we want to hear from you

Become RCS Faculty
We welcome faculty from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels, most of whom voluntarily give up their time to develop and teach on RCS courses throughout the UK and abroad.
We are always looking for trainers to deliver our courses. Key focus areas include: laparoscopic surgery, surgical teaching, and surgical skills for medical students and surgical trainees. Get in touch if you'd like to volunteer your time in any of these areas.
At the RCS, we maintain that our faculty are at the heart of what we do.
Welcome, members of the surgical care team
We are pleased to welcome roles within the surgical care team to join our international community of members, and to launch new guidance, which will support a strategic and cross-profession approach to using the surgical care team in the most effective way.
