The Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh seek to
award a 30-month Fellowship in the History of Military Surgery. The

display experience. Good communication and organisational skills.
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh houses some of the most
significant surgical and anatomical/pathological collections in the
world, including the Charles Bell collection purchased in 1825. The
collections reflect the predominance of Scots trained surgeons and
surgical pioneers in military service since the 18th century.

surgery connections of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh
(collections, history and Fellows)
§ To put the RCSEd military surgery collections and associations

a
major exhibition on the History of Military Surgery for the
Quincentenary of the College in 2005.
