Dr. Sanjay Razdan was nominated to the Royal College of Surgeons as an honorary Fellow last week; this is a rare privilege granted to physicians of international eminence after intensive scrutiny by a convened Fellowship Committee of their contributions to their specialty; in Dr Razdan’s case, this was based on his numerous contributions to the field of endourology and minimally invasive surgery internationally.
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow is an institute of physicians and surgeons in Glasgow, Scotland.
Founded by Peter Lowe after receiving a royal charter from James VI in 1599, as the Glasgow Faculty, it originally existed as a regulatory authority to ensure that physicians and surgeons in the West of Scotland were appropriately trained and regulated. In 1909, it achieved Royal recognition and became the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RFPSG). In 1962, following agreement with the other medical and surgical Royal Colleges in the UK, it achieved collegiate status as the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG), by that name it is known today.
