| | Professor Thomas N Walsh, new President of RAMI | |
| It is a very great honour to have been elected as president of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland since the academy holds such a special place in Irish academic medicine. The list of activities and achievements of the Academy is most impressive and represent an enormous effort by the executive and the society administrators.
I look forward to working with the 22 sections, comprising of over 1200 fellows, members or associate members, which form the core activity of the Academy. Some of these are very dynamic, with regular meetings, lectures and research competitions while others are going through a quieter phase. I hope to be able to encourage some of the less dynamic sections during my term as president.
I await with interest the 35th Graves Lecture and the 23rd Saint Luke’s Lecture as these have consistently attracted the greatest contemporary talent. I also anticipate that Conway Review Lecture of the Biomedical Sciences Section and the Samuel Haughton Lecture of the Section of Bioengineering will maintain their usual excellent standard.
I have been involved with the Annual Doctor Awards since its inception and this year is the 10th anniversary which promises to be a special evening. The Awards provides a snapshot of the quality, diversity and impact of Irish academic clinicians with the best overall paper selected from a journal with an impact factor in the high 20s or 30s.
I have also been involved with the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award which is bestowed on recipients who have made a significant contribution to Irish medical life through research, education, health management, or public health initiatives. The list of recipients to date includes some of our most distinguished luminaries.
As former editor of The Irish Journal of Medical Science, the official organ of the Academy, I appreciate the task of the current editor, Professor David Bouchier-Hayes, and hope to contribute to his efforts to enhance the quality of the journal and improve its impact. As many of our most successful academics published their first papers in the IJMS it deserves all of our support.
I would like to thank the outgoing president, Dr Fenton Howell, for his wise and prudent presidency of the Academy. I look forward to working with the indefatigable general secretary Dr John O’Connor and the Executive over the coming years. I look forward to working with Helen Moore, the constant beacon of light at the academy since I first became involved, so much so that I cannot imagine how the academy could function without her.
And if you, the reader, have any suggestion as to how I can better serve you as President I would be delighted to hear from you.
Regards
Thomas Noel Walsh, MD, MCh, FRCSI
