Research
Invest in the future of surgery
Year after year, the College invests in pioneering surgical research. This commitment to research aids us in achieving our vision of improved outcomes for patients globally. From small bursaries to world leading professorships, we are investing in results that will improve medical and surgical practice and ultimately save lives.
We provide surgeons with the opportunity to develop potentially ground-breaking research. We offer grants that are critical to creating to creating innovative new surgical techniques; they are the starter gun for projects that can deliver life-changing results for patients the world over. Through our Fellowship programme we have sent countless surgeons to gain education, training or skills opportunities that would otherwise have been unavailable to them, allowing us to facilitate learning and the sharing of innovations in surgical practice that imbue practitioners with skills and techniques that can have life-changing consequences for their patients.
Faced with rising costs and ever greater demand, we are committed to investing in surgical research but face real challenges in terms of the volume we can support. By investing in our work, you will contribute to innovative and groundbreaking research that will benefit patients and professionals worldwide.
