Career
The origins of the Royal College of Surgeons lie in the union of the Fellowship of Surgeons and the Company of Barbers by Henry VIII in 1540 to form the Company of Barber-Surgeons.
In 1800, the Company of Surgeons was granted a Royal Charter to become The Royal College of Surgeons in London, later of England.
The College is governed by a President and Council of elected Fellows and invited representatives. A separate Court of Examiners conducts examinations. The College participates in The Senate of Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland which co-ordinates certain professional activities and national bodies.
In 1979, the college sponsored an issue of the National Coal Board’s [qv] cinemagazine, Review, entitled ‘THE BEST FELLOW FOR THE JOB’ to promote their work.
