On Tuesday, June 11th, a group of Senior Maxillofacial Surgeons from the UK visited RCSI. Led by Mr. Stephen Walsh, they have a travelling club that visits overseas surgical centres to learn from the practices of their colleagues in other countries. During their visit, they were given a tour of the RCSI campus, including RCSI's state-of-the-art Simulation facilities based within No. 26 York Street. They also held some presentations in No. 26. The group had a wonderful day and are looking forward to visiting RCSI again very soon. The Faculty wishes to thank our fabulous Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland colleagues who helped to make this happen, especially Caoimhín O'Conghaile and Frank Donegan.
