Accreditation for the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Facility in Bahrain: Discussion (Resumed)
2:40 pm
Professor Cathal Kelly:
I think that my colleagues have covered it very well. I believe Professor Finucane is correct. These students are working and training under very difficult circumstances. They are doing a very difficult professional degree in a second language - they are not native English speakers - and they deserve our support. I believe they deserve that quality stamp from an inspection visit by the Medical Council if they merit it. Then let the Medical Council judge them and us on our merits.
