Prestigious honour for Limerick-based surgeon Reporter: '); '); UHL-based colorectal and general surgeon Colin Peirce has been bestowed with one of the most prestigious honours a surgeon in Ireland can receive, when he was chosen to deliver the 43rd annual Millin Lecture for 2020. A significant event in the RCSI calendar, the Millin Lecture is traditionally delivered during the College’s annual Millin Meeting each November, before an audience including the lecturer’s loved ones and hundreds of surgeons from all across Ireland. This year, in line with public health guidance on social and physical distancing, Mr Peirce had to pre-record the Lecture, for online transmission during the College’s virtually hosted 2020 Millin Meeting week as part of the 2021 Charter Day Meetings.
