Aesculap Academy is awarded global accreditation by the Royal College of Surgeons of England

In the past, Aesculap Academies were accredited in only four countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom (UK). The global accreditation, now in 43 countries, is an award of excellence from the RCS England that recognises the outstanding surgery-related education provided by the Aesculap Academy around the world. The Royal College of Surgeons of England provides world-class education, assessment and development for any surgical training run in the UK and globally.

The accreditation process is a review of the entire surgical education centre. This includes assessment of facilities, resources, faculty and the education portfolio; as well as the quality management processes which underpin the delivery of the centre’s educational product. RCS England centre accreditation is only awarded where there is a clear demonstration of the quality of each of these components. Accreditation gives the centre a degree of autonomy in amending its course portfolio. The introduction of new courses during the accreditation period is subject to RCS England approval.

"We aspire to offer a stimulating environment for developing knowledge and a teaching methodology adapted to real life." stated Dr. Gabriela Soskuty. "The global accreditation is a promise to our course participants that the quality of our work undergoes a rigorous external audit.”

Maintaining the high-quality standard of the Aesculap Academy training to support the future of excellence in medical care worldwide is a challenging task, as many aspects of learning are undergoing major changes, explained Jana Nothhelfer, Head of Business Development Aesculap Academy. "A sound foundation and a strong partner are critical for success and we are grateful for the internationally recognized hallmark of quality of the RCS England. This is a great incentive for continuous improvement of our standards in all trainings we offer.”
