Creating a legacy
Founded as the national training body for surgery in Ireland, RCSI has been at the forefront of healthcare education for over 230 years. Today, we are an innovative, world-leading international health sciences education and research institution.
Much of this work has only been possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters and, notably, those who have chosen to support our work by leaving a gift in their Will. These special gifts are crucial to making sure we continue to lead the world to better health for future generations.
By supporting RCSI through your legacy or gift, you can help shape our future.
