Ireland occupies a rather unique global position - we are linked in so many ways, for example, to the United Kingdom. We have shared pathways for assessing and examining our trainees. Our speciality society (www.iosconference.org) includes members from all over the island; and our founding fathers, in their wisdom, created a council that fosters and encourages collegiality between its two parts. So also, we sit at the western edge of Europe, and play an ever-increasing role in its institutions. I genuinely believe that Ireland has much to offer in terms of being an international hub for ORL-HNS training. We have a very dynamic college, and an enthusiastic cohort of consultants. I look forward to taking my place amongst the other esteemed Global Ambassadors, and to making a strong contribution to the magazine.
