Awards

The Service to the Community Award has been designed to recognise Fellows who have given long and dedicated service to their local community, without which the standard of surgical care in that community would have been less than society needs.

The NSW State Committee recognises a small number of Fellows throughout the year with this award and other awards that seek to acknowledge the hard work and commitment that our Fellows demonstrate. Previous Award recipients have made a significant impact on not only their patients but their hospitals, their communities and our College.

The criteria for these awards are understandably high and nominations should highlight the incredible benefit nominees bring to our college as a whole.

If you know of a Fellow who is deserving of this award please email the RACS NSW office.

Congratulations to Imogen Hines, who has been awarded best essay in the 2020 essay competition  "Describe your vision of sustainable surgery (PDF 161.16KB)"
