I

I have taken out the bit about it not being as old as the RCSE: this article is about The RCP, not about Scottish nationalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.233.125 (talk • contribs)

Quite right. The Barber-Surgeons of Dublin got their charter from the Lord of Ireland (AKA King Henry VI of England) before the surgeons of Edinburgh got theirs from the King of Scotland. NRPanikker (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1674 By Henry VIII?

I'm not an expert on this subject, but someone needs to fix that date, and/or the person. There's no need to state that Henry VIII was long dead by 1674? Is it Charles II that gave the charter, or is it the date that's wrong, if not both? Just felt the need to point that out LeftAire (talk) 20:57, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coltridge

I've added tags of doubt to the remark about him in the Facility section. I can find no reliable evidence for his existence, let alone his involvement in the design. If anyone can source this, please feel free.

Picture of Cambridge Gate removed

I have removed the link, in the history section of this article, to the image of Cambridge Gate, Regent's Park, NW1 4JX, wrongly labeled as being of the Royal College of Physicians. Cambridge Gate is a terrace of residential properties which, though next door to the college, otherwise has absolutely no connection with it.

Notability of becoming a fellow

Does anyone know if being elected a Fellow of the RCP is presitigious enough to support a claim to notability? I don't have a sense of how rare it is. -Furicorn (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
