Younger Fellows' Group

The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Younger Fellows’ Group was set up in 2015 by Ms Clare McNaught to build a network of younger consultants and senior trainees.

A Younger Fellow is defined as any surgeon who has obtained Fellowship within the last 10 years.

The aim of the group is to facilitate younger surgeons of all disciplines and from all locations to socialise, get involved in College life and feedback their opinions on professional issues to Council.

The College has a proud history, educating surgeons and setting standards for the profession for more than 500 years. Life as a consultant has changed dramatically over this time, but perhaps most noticeably over the last decade. Consultants now live in an environment of raised public expectation, increased scrutiny with the individual reporting of surgical outcomes and escalated workload. In recognition of these pressures, the College has committed to assist our younger consultants and has provided an avenue of mentorship and support through the Younger Fellows' Group.
