In June 2013, we welcomed more than 2000 delegates, speakers and exhibitors to the bustling and vibrant city of Liverpool. For the first time the scientific programme was developed and delivered in collaboration with many UK specialist societies, providing delegates with the very latest updates from specialists across a wide variety of O&G areas.

Sir William Gilliat Award Winners
A fund was established by Council on 29 September 1956 in memory of Sir William Gilliatt, a past President of the College, who was killed in a motoring accident. It was funded by voluntary donations and greatly increased in 1978 following the death of Sir William’s widow. On 20 November 1981, a Trust Deed named The Sir William Gilliatt Memorial Fund was established. The object of the Fund was stated as being ‘To foster the aims of the College and in particular to encourage research in all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecological medicine’.
