Quality improvement: we want to hear from you
We are currently looking for case studies to feature on our website to help shape the RCS' future activity for quality improvement (QI) in surgery.
Have you participated in QI? Submit your case study today.
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.
