RCSI launches Ireland’s first National Robotic Surgery Curriculum
RCSI has launched Ireland’s first National Robotic Surgery Curriculum, supported by a €2.3m investment and designed to standardise robotic surgical training nationwide.
Thursday, 12 February 2026: The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) has today launched Ireland’s first national programme for robotic surgical training. The new National Robotic Surgery Curriculum marks a significant advance in robotic surgery education in Ireland, supporting consistent standards of practice nationwide by ensuring that trainees develop a shared foundation in robotic safety, technical competence and non-technical skills.
Formally launched at the Robotic and Technology Learning Village, which is part of RCSI’s annual Charter Week meeting, the curriculum is supported by a €2.3m institutional investment from RCSI in robotic surgical education. This includes the purchase of three robotic platforms and the opening of a new robotic education space at the National Surgical and Clinical Skills Centre on RCSI’s St Stephen’s Green campus.
