The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) is delighted to announce that His Royal Highness The Duke of Rothesay has become its Patron.
The Duke of Edinburgh served as Patron of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh for 66 years, having first become Patron in 1954. The Duke of Edinburgh accepted an Honorary Fellowship from RCSEd in 1955 and visited the College on several occasions including in 2006 to open the Quincentenary building, and in 2015 to open the newly renovated Surgeons’ Hall Museums and the Prince Philip Building.
Professor Michael Griffin OBE, President of the RCSEd, said:
It is a privilege to welcome HRH The Duke of Rothesay as Patron of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
The Duke of Edinburgh played a very significant part in the College’s history during His Royal Highness’ 66 years as Patron, which we recognised in 2015 by constructing the Prince Philip Building. The Duke’s engagement with Fellows and officers at the opening of the building was extraordinary, and throughout his patronage His Royal Highness took great interest in the surgical profession and its advancement of patient care.
We very much look forward to working with The Duke of Rothesay.
