Bulletin of The Royal College of Surgeons of England

ISSN 1473-6357, Online ISSN: 1478-7075

The Bulletin of The Royal College of Surgeons of England is published monthly, with the exceptions of August and December. The primary aims of the Bulletin are to keep fellows, members and affiliates of the College informed of all College activities and to provide a forum for the debate of current issues of interest and/or contention within the profession.

College activities include the activities of the Council and its boards, with particular emphasis on training and education. Outside views are sought from specialty and other clinical groups, deans and managers. Please note that every effort is made by the publishers and editors to ensure that no inaccurate or misleading opinion or statement appears in this journal.

We are conducting a readers' survey for the Annals and Bulletin. This survey will help us to focus our efforts on improving the journals in accordance with what you, the reader, would like to see, and to identify any gaps in the service we provide to our readers and authors.

All fellows, members and associates are welcome, and encouraged, to participate in the survey and contribute toward the improvement and development of content in both journals. Please follow the link to complete the survey online. It will only take a few minutes. The survey can be found here.
