A report to be published today by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) proposes a new networked approach for emergency surgical care which would deliver a higher quality service to patients, preserve access across the country to senior surgical decision-makers, and create a working environment that is optimal for training, recruitment and retention of staff.
