 Neil Dewhurst, President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, discusses areas of shared concern for surgeons and physicians
Now more than ever, mutual aspirations and challenges mark the relationship between surgeons and physicians, and between the two Edinburgh Colleges. Both institutions are committed to setting the highest standards; both too have a heritage with which to inspire trust in our memberships and the wider community. Indeed our memberships are closer than we sometimes recognise – a recent case in point is the welcome appointment of Iain Macintyre, a former RCSEd Vice-President, to the editorial board of the RCPE’s journal.

 With the success of its recent tenth anniversary celebrations, the College of Surgeons of East Central and Southern Africa is now looking to the challenges of the future, so writes COSECSA President Fred Mutyaba
COSECSA was formed in 1999 to fill a much needed role as an independent body that would foster postgraduate education in surgery and harmonise surgical training in the east, central and southern African region. A common surgical training programme was developed that could be undertaken in designated training institutions, assessed through a common examination, and an internationally recognised surgical qualification.
