Scrubs and Scalpels Volunteering Scheme

Scrubs 'n' Scalpels is Surgical Society's very own Volunteering scheme. As well as running numerous events in local schools, we are also heavily involved in volunteering for events run at the Royal College of Surgeons.


So if you feel like starting (and continuing) the year with good deeds, then make sure you check back here for events that we need your help with.
