RCSI will hold an online information session for our established Basic and Intermediate Surgical Principles and Practice Certificates on Thursday, 16 July 2026 from 6pm.

Are you a surgical non-consultant hospital doctor (NCHD) in Ireland looking to take the next step in your career development?

Many of our scholars have used both RCSI's Basic and Intermediate Surgical Principles and Practice programmes to help advance their surgical careers and CVs, as a study aid for the MRCS examinations, and increase their competitiveness to apply into surgical training within Ireland.

Delivered by course lead Ms Linda Keegan, our upcoming online information session will provide:

• An overview of both flexible Basic and Intermediate Surgical Principles and Practice programmes (including a spotlight on modules).
• A scholar’s perspective from alumni from each of our highly regarded certificates.
• An opportunity to pre-submit our ask questions during our live event at our designated Q&A session.
• And fundamentally a clear picture on how either our Basic and Intermediate Surgical Principles and Practice Certificates can help your career development goals.
