Robert Hamilton (surgeon)

Robert Hamilton (died c. 1832)[2] was the president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 1805.

[3] Little is known of Robert Hamilton, and Cameron's entry in his History of RCSI is brief.

Robert Hamilton was admitted as a licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland on 9 February 1791 ; and on 22 November of the same year was elected a member.

In 1796 he was a staff surgeon on the Dublin Irish Army Establishment, but he did not remain long in the service.

His name disappears from the college list in 1832 ; he, therefore, probably died in that year.
