Kenny Webster
Head of Learning Operations
"I really enjoy working for the RCS. I take great pride in telling people that through our work, surgeons are trained to save lives and the atmosphere and working environment are very friendly and welcoming.

Lionel Odelana
Specialty Manager
"My first role at the RCS was as a Faculty Administrator, and my manager encouraged me to apply for a place on the Career Development Programme. I led a yearlong project and took part in numerous training days that helped me build confidence. It aided my growth in the organisation, and I was promoted to a Specialty Manager in the Faculty of Dental Surgery. My example is evidence of the support and opportunities available."

Denise Welch
Front Office Leader
“I am the first person visitors meet and I enjoy greeting them with a smile and sharing my knowledge of the College which in some cases makes a big difference to their day. In my position on the front desk I get to meet different people every day who are here for a variety of reasons and I enjoy meeting senior fellows or old overseas fellows and hearing about their time at the College.”
