College Mission Statement

The Royal College of Surgeons of England is committed to enabling surgeons to achieve and maintain the highest standards of surgical practice and patient care.

What we do

Supervise training of surgeons in approved posts
Provide educational and practical workshops for surgeons and other medical professionals at all stages of their careers
Examine trainees to ensure the highest professional standards
Promote and support surgical research in the UK
Support audit and evaluation of clinical effectiveness
Provide support and advice for surgeons in all stages of their careers
Provide a mechanism whereby trusts can seek independent advice
House a current and historical information resource centre for surgeons in the library and museums
Act as an advisory body to the Department of Health, health authorities, Trusts, hospitals and other professional bodies
Collaborate with other medical and academic organisations in the UK and worldwide.
Seek to convey the importance of, and provide support for, good, effective communication and interpersonal relationships between patients and surgeons

What we don't do

Register or license surgeons to practise nor have responsibility for disciplinary actions; this is the responsibility of the General Medical Council (GMC)
Process complaints from patients; this is another responsibility of the GMC or a function of individual hospitals
Recommend individual surgeons to patients or offer patients medical advice; the College recommends that patients always seek referral through general practitioners.
