THE RCSI ROYAL CHARTER
In 1765 Sylvester O’Halloran, a surgeon from Limerick, had proposed a College of Surgeons
in Ireland along the lines of the College de St. Cosme in Paris, which had been regulating
French surgery since its creation by royal charter by Louis IX in 1255. O’Halloran called for a
college of surgery to be founded in Dublin to train, educate and examine persons in the art
of surgery. This lead to a group of Dublin surgeons joining together and forming the Dublin
Society of Surgeons in 1780. The main goals of the society were to separate surgeons from
the Barber Surgeons Guild and provide surgical training, education and regulation in Ireland.
They lobbied for a royal charter in 1781 and presented the Lord Lieutenant with their petition.
The Lord Lieutenant presented the petition to King George III who saw it fit to grant a royal
charter on 11 February 1784 establishing the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. The first
President was Samuel Croker-King (1728-1817) and the first Professor of Surgery was William
Dease (1752-1798).

DR HEDY FRY, CLASS OF 1968
followed by a Drinks Reception
Honourable Dr Hedy Fry was first elected to Parliament for
Vancouver Centre in 1993, becoming the first rookie to defeat a
sitting Prime Minister. She has since been re-elected in 1997, 2000,
2004, 2006, 2008 and 2011, and is currently the longest sitting
female MP in Canada’s history.
Dr Fry began her political career in 1993 as Parliamentary Secretary
to the Minister of Health. She spent six years from 1996-2002 in
Cabinet serving as Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and
the Minister for the Status of Women, and sat on a number of
Cabinet Committees regarding health, social policy, volunteerism,
homelessness and same-sex benefits.
Following graduation from RCSI, Dr Fry, who hails originally from
Trinidad & Tobago, emigrated to Canada in 1970. She practiced
family medicine at St Paul’s Hospital in the West End of Vancouver
for two decades and was a local, provincial and national leader in
medical politics.
Dr Fry has served as President of the Vancouver Medical Association (VMA), BC Medical
Association (BCMA), and the Federation of Medical Women, as well as Opposition Critic for Sports
and the 2010 Olympics, and for Canadian Heritage. This parliamentary session, she has served as
the Chair of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Dr Fry continues working hard at key priorities of her constituents and fighting for issues such
as human rights, the environment, LGBTQ2+, healthcare, poverty, housing and homelessness,
education and many others.

AUDIT (NOCA)
NOCA - Excellent healthcare for Ireland shaped by good information
NOCA was established in 2012 to create sustainable clinical audit programmes at national
level. NOCA is funded by the Health Service Executive (HSE) Quality Improvement Division,
governed by an independent voluntary board and operationally supported by the Royal College
of Surgeons in Ireland. Working with the HSE and the Department of Health (DoH), through its
National Clinical Effectiveness Committee (NCEC), NOCA designs, establishes and supports
a portfolio of national clinical audits based on national priorities that include burden of care,
variation of care, availability of clinical standards and economic benefit.
NOCA enables the Irish healthcare system to continually improve by maintaining a portfolio of
prioritised national clinical audits, measuring care against national and international standards.
By making reliable data available to those who use, manage and deliver healthcare, clinical
audits help to refine Irish healthcare, improve patient outcomes, and achieve change at local and
national level.
NOCA advocates for change at a national level, arising from key findings in our audits. We do
this by working with senior decision makers at both policy and operational levels within the Irish
healthcare system. NOCA promotes transparent reporting and publishes national annual reports
for each of its audits as well as providing regular reports to hospitals. National clinical audit, while
still relatively new in Ireland, is recognised by those who deliver and manage healthcare as a key
component to improve healthcare through the systematic collection and analysis of data that
assesses if the level of care provided meets the required standards.
NOCA’s current audit portfolio includes:
• Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD)
• Irish National ICU Audit
• Irish National Orthopaedic Register (INOR)
• Major Trauma Audit (MTA)
• National Audit of Hospital Mortality (NAHM)
• The National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre (NPEC)
-Perinatal mortality in Ireland
- Severe maternal morbidity in Ireland
- Very Low Birth Weight Infants in the Republic of Ireland

The Intercollegiate Case Competition is an annual event which sees an individual student from
each of the 6 Irish Medical Schools compete against one another through presentation of a surgical

the judges, takes home not only the bragging rights for their Medical School, but is also awarded
the Bouchier-Hayes Medal.

NATIONAL CLINICAL PROGRAMME O’Flanagan LT
IN SURGERY
The National Clinical Programmes represent a strategic initiative between the Health Service
Executive’s (HSE) Quality and Clinical Care Directorate and the various post-graduate training
bodies. The programmes aim to design and implement change initiatives to improve and
standardise the quality of care and access for all patients in a cost-effective manner. The
Programmes are structured with broad cross-functional input and with clinical leadership being
provided by the training bodies to ensure that the patient remains at the centre of any change
recommendation.
All National Clinical programmes share three core objectives:
• To improve the quality of patient care delivered to all HSE patients
• To improve access to appropriate services
• To improve cost effectiveness
The aim of the National Clinical Programmes in Surgery is to provide a framework for the delivery
of safer, more timely and accessible, more cost effective and efficient care for the surgical patient.
The NCPS works closely with the Clinical Programmes in Anaesthesia, Acute and Emergency
Medicine, Older Persons and Critical Care among others, as well as with colleagues throughout the
HSE, patient advocacy groups and all relevant stakeholders across the health system.
The National Surgery Programmes report directly to the RCSI Committee for Surgical Affairs (CSA)
and to the Director of Clinical Strategy and Programmes Directorate in the HSE. While the National
Programme set out to be generic at the outset, it now includes other surgical programmes such
as Trauma and Orthopaedics and also sub-specialty advisors including General Surgery, Urology,
Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, and Vascular Surgery with the aspiration that other
subspecialties will, in time, have representation coordinated through the National Office.
