"It was a privilege to meet colleagues from both the Ceylon College of Physicians and the College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka, and to strengthen the longstanding relationships between our institutions. We are proud to be 'home' to more than 265 inspiring Fellows and Members in Sri Lanka."

Earlier this week, College President Professor Hany Eteiba strengthened our international collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with The College of Surgeons Sri Lanka (CSSL).

The agreement reinforces the strong relationship between our College and CSSL.

During the visit, Professor Eteiba received an Honorary Fellowship from Ceylon College of Physicians.

The Honorary Fellowship is reserved for physicians of exceptional international eminence whose contributions have significantly advanced the science and practice of medicine.

Dear Green Places is a love letter to Glasgow's "green lungs" 🍃

Opening this weekend as part of Doors Open Day (Sunday 20 September), the exhibition explores how green spaces support health and wellbeing, and the role plants have played in medicine for millennia.

See the oldest book in our collection on display for the first time. From 1479, written by Serapion the Younger, it depicts how herbal medicine was used at the time.

Visitors can also see a remarkable collection of Scottish remedies for everyday ailments, from using ginger to treat a cold to more unusual treatments including cow dung to treat back pain, offering a rare glimpse into the everyday reality of healthcare in Scotland centuries ago.
