O&G

The Programme Lead is the College Tutor, Miss Melanie Tipples, (melanie.tipples@wsht.nhs.uk)

The aim of the programme leading to the award of a CCT in O & G is to produce high quality Obstetricians and Gynaecologists with a broad range of skills, supported by assessments which are competency based, that will enable them to practise as Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologists in the United Kingdom.

The O & G curriculum is competency based and leads to the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). You will be supported during your time at St. Richard’s Hospital by your Programme Lead, an allocated Educational Supervisor, and Clinical Supervisors, all of whom will give you regular feedback about your progress. You should never be in any doubt about your progress and what you can do to improve this.

Progress during training is established by review of your logbook and the signing off of the 19 modules when completed (where appropriate), by observation, direct supervision, independent practice and attendance at training courses, completion of Advanced Training Skills Modules (ATSMs – where appropriate).
