Admin./ biographical historyCharles Herbert Fagge was a General Surgeon and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (1898). He was elected Assistant Surgeon at Guy's Hospital, London in 1905, and became Surgeon in 1917 until 1933. He was the Consulting Surgeon from 1933 until his death. Amongst his minor hospital appointments he was surgeon to the Evelina Hospital for Children, and consulting surgeon to the Beckenham Hospital and to St John’s Hospital at Blackheath.
At the Royal College of Surgeons of England, he was elected an examiner in anatomy in 1909, served as a Member of the Court of Examiners from 1920 to 1930, and as a surgical examiner on the Dental Board in 1923.

For these services the University of Melbourne conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons elected him an Honorary Fellow. On his return to England he filled the offices of president of the Association of Surgeons of Britain and Ireland in 1933 and President of the surgical section of Royal Society of Medicine in 1932 to 1933.
