The RCMSA congratulates all members on their achievements and wishes them continued success in their new responsibilities.
I notice that you now include Royal appointments on your list with the Honorary Colonels.
With the support of Gen Barr and Col Munn, I obtained the Royal appointment of Queen`s Honorary Surgeon (QHS) , an appointment that I am especially proud of.
Dr Martin, Royal appointments are tied to the revenant office at the time of appointment and are relinquished when no longer in that role thus only current appointments appear on the website
