Subspecialty training in urogynaecology

As of May 2018 there were 14 approved subspecialty training programmes in the UK. To date, there have been 69 accredited subspecialists who have already completed RCOG subspecialty training programmes. However, a recent survey of new consultant appointments indicates that less than 50% of those that complete subspecialty training in urogynaecology are appointed to a subspecialty post in urogynaecology; this is lower proportion than the other subspecialties.

Trainees should seek career advice from their educational supervisor and the urogynaecology subspecialty training programme director or urogynaecology subspecialist within their region.
