Real progress is being made with the Eagle Project – the multimillion-pound scheme to convert the education facilities on the fourth floor of the College. The recent highly successful College conference Anatomy Teaching – the Cruellest Cut of All (see page 194), reconfirmed the central importance of the Eagle Project in teaching surgical anatomy and in maintaining high standards in surgical practice. The conference highlighted the stark and worrying effects of a changing undergraduate curriculum on levels of basic anatomical knowledge. This in turn impacts on postgraduate examination results and on levels of litigation in the NHS. The capacity and diversity of the Eagle Project's facilities provide the College with a unique resource to tackle these problems at every level – undergraduate, postgraduate and consultant.
