School for Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Up one level
Our mission is to help trainees achieve their maximum potential in the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG) has developed a curriculum that will train individuals to part of the NHS workforce in the 21st century. The school of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Wales is focused on delivering this curriculum and meeting PMETB Generic Standards for Training.
There are approximately 110 trainees in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and we also liaise with the School of General Practice to deliver training for approximately 40 General Practice Trainees. This training is delivered in all NHS Trusts in Wales.
We assess training needs and match trainees with appropriate training locations, which are focused on three areas covering the whole of Wales – North, South West and South East. Training tends to be located in one of these regions for the first five years. Trainees are then located in the region or hospital that can best deliver the Advance Training Skills Module they need.
