Worthy & Expert - A Modern History of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh
by Professor John L Duncan, OBE

"This amazing book will be fascinating, not only to those directly affiliated to the College, but also the general reader, clinician, academic and historian."
Professor Rowan Parks. President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh 

In 1505, the founding document of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, the Seal of Cause, set out the standards of education, skill and professionalism which remain relevant to modern healthcare. Worthy and Expert traces the College’s history through the centuries and discusses its relationship with the city of Edinburgh and its university and institutions. The book recounts many of the stories which are woven into the College's history, documents the creation of the College’s faculties and follows the College’s development into a global institution with over 30,000 Members and Fellows in 130 countries.
