Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
The RCOG works to improve women’s health care across the world. Founded in 1929, we now have over 12,500 members worldwide and work with a range of partners both in the UK and globally to improve the standard of care delivered to women, encourage the study of obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G), and advance the science and practice of O&G.

 To achieve our goals, we:

  • Develop the education, training and examination programme for doctors wishing to specialise in O&G
  • Equip doctors with the skills and knowledge they need to deliver high quality women’s health care
  • Provide a continuing professional development programme for qualified O&G clinicians, including practical skills courses and educational and scientific meetings and conferences, to ensure their skills remain up to date
  • Work with the RCOG Women’s Network to ensure women’s views on the care they receive are at the heart of everything we do
  • Provide support and advice for O&G clinicians at every stage in their career
  • Promote academic work in O&G, to ensure continued improvement in the service our members offer to women
  • Publish patient information leaflets explaining medical conditions in lay terms and the levels of care women can expect to receive
  • Work with international partners to improve sexual and reproductive health care and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, through our global health strategy
  • Contribute to policy development as it affects the O&G profession, the health service and wider women’s health concerns
  • Advise the government and other public bodies on healthcare matters relating to O&G
  • Publish statements and reports on issues of public importance relevant to O&G
  • Support other organisations with similar objectives to the College, including specialist societies
