Overview

The RCOG Annual Professional Development Conference is aimed at providing an authoritative update on clinical problems relevant to the specialty of obstetrics and gynaecology. Expert speakers are asked to give an overview accessible to colleagues in all subspecialties, as well as generalists.

UK Specialist Societies will be hosting parallel breakout sessions on all three days, enabling you to tailor your attendance according to your interests. It is an ideal opportunity to hear what is new across the spectrum in obstetrics and gynaecology and meet consultant colleagues and acknowledged leaders in their fields. This year we will be hosting a practical workshop on day two.

Why Attend? èUnique opportunity to hear the full spectrum of recent advances from experts in their field, deliberately tailored for a diverse audience

èMeet colleagues from all specialties and catch up with developments in science, clinical practice and medical politics, as they affect obstetrics and gynaecology

èTailor your attendance to suit your needs by attending breakout sessions hosted by a variety of UK Specialist Societies

è Informal discussion session with College Officers and speakers

èClaim up to 18 CPD credits for full attendance at this meeting

Who Should Attend? èAll Consultants in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

èThe meeting is aimed at practicing specialists, and is designed as an update rather than as a basic introduction

èSome experience as a senior level obstetrician and gynaecologist is an advantage, although post MRCOG Speciality Trainees (especially subspecialist trainees wanting to keep up to date with other subspecialties) will also find the meeting useful

èStaff Doctors, Staff Grades, Trust Doctors and Associate Specialists
