RCOG Membership for SAS and LE doctors

We recognise that SAS and LE doctors are an important, valuable, growing part of the medical workforce. The RCOG are already working to engage SAS and LEDs across College activity, celebrate SAS careers, raise awareness of the opportunities available to SAS doctors and communicate the importance of SAS and LE doctors in the O&G workforce.

Membership for SAS and LE doctors has a range of enhanced benefits tailored to this community and the RCOG encourages all doctors working in O&G to consider membership of the RCOG.

SAS and LEDs with RCOG membership have the following benefits:

• Represented nationally by the RCOG SAS and LED Committee Chair who sits on RCOG Council and AoMRC SAS Committee
• Represented regionally by the SAS and LED Committee regional representatives
• Eligible to apply to be a member of the SAS and LED Committee and sit on a range of College Boards and Committees, directly feeding into College activity
• Regional representatives share important SAS and LED communications with their regional SAS and LED network
• Become a part of a global community of experienced O&G practitioners and have access to exclusive resources. Find out more about the different types of College membership and the benefits of RCOG membership

You can become an RCOG Member if you have passed the MRCOG exams or you can become an RCOG Associate if you have not passed the MRCOG Part 3 exam or if you are working towards the MRCOG.

For Members, a Fellowship might be awarded if you have made a significant contribution to O&G through research, teaching or publication. Normally, those elected will have been Members for at least ten years. SAS and LEDs are eligible for RCOG Fellowship.

Although attracting a membership fee, this is a tax-deductible expense and can be paid in instalments. Concessions are available for those taking career breaks, parental leave or on long term sick leave.
