List of presidents of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a complete list of the presidents of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The Trade Guild of Edinburgh Barbers and Surgeons was incorporated by the granting of a 'Seal of Cause' in 1505 to become 'The Incorporation of Surgeons and Barbers of Edinburgh'. The incorporation was granted a royal charter by King George III in 1778, giving it the title of "The Royal College of Surgeons of the City of Edinburgh". Prior to 1778, the president was referred to as the deacon.[1]

The president is normally elected in November and now serves for three years. The current president is Professor Rowan Parks.
