Useful O&G resources by preparation stage
Start with the source that answers the decision in front of you. A smaller current reading list is more useful than a browser full of undated commercial summaries.
Exploring O&G
Use RCOG career pages and Foundation guidance, then arrange exposure across obstetrics and gynaecology. Ask trainees about nights, examinations, operating access and their actual week.
Checking eligibility and application rules
Use the 2027 person specification, national O&G recruitment hub, Oriel and prioritisation guidance. Save dated copies of documents that apply to your round.
Preparing for selection
Use the official MSRA and interview pages, then the focused Clinical Prioritisation, Ethics and Governance and Structured Interview guides in this cluster for original spoken practice.
Starting training
Use the 2024 curriculum, current training matrix and local induction material to understand capabilities, supervision, assessment and progression.
Exams and later career development
Use RCOG examination pages, SITM and subspecialty guidance, specialist societies and trainee representation as each becomes relevant.
Research, QI and current issues
Use UKARCOG or local networks for projects, RCOG for training and professional updates, and primary investigation or MBRRACE reports for patient-safety issues.
