Non-members and individual subscribers

Non-members have limited access to TOG content here, and can also find out how to subscribe to TOG.

If you already subscribe to TOG but are not an RCOG Fellow, Member, registered Trainee, Associate or CPD Associate, you can access TOG via Wiley Online Library. 

TOG CPD and SBA questions

Continuing professional development (CPD) questions are produced for most review articles published in TOG. If you have access to the RCOG CPD ePortfolio, you can answer the TOG questions as part of your knowledge-based assessment.

Single best answer (SBA) questions are also produced for most TOG articles. These are a helpful revision tool as they are similar to the question format in the MRCOG exams. However, they are free to access for everyone, whether you are preparing for an exam or not. They can be found on the StratOG website.  

Please read the page on TOG CPD questions in the Guide to CPD.
