When the Founders met in Dunedin in 1927, they had been working for seven years towards what became the College. During that period they had identified four areas of concern in their search for surgical quality in the two countries: surgical standards; hospital standards; anaesthetic standards (somewhat obliquely identified) and research for the public good. Subsequent speakers will examine the College’s activities in these four areas of concern over the past 80 years.
