Fellowship ad eundem and honoris causa

Fellowships ad eundem and Fellowship honoris causa are awarded to individuals who have contributed to the field of obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) or the advancement of women’s healthcare. These Fellowships are designed to recognise those who are not College members.

The eligibility criteria and nomination process are outlined below.

Eligibility

Fellowship ad eundem is bestowed by the College to individuals who:

  • Have demonstrated, through research or clinical commitment, major contributions to obstetrics, gynaecology or reproductive health and
  • Have contributed to the advancement of the science or practice of obstetrics and gynaecology in a substantial way and
  • Are of an extremely high scientific calibre

Fellowship honoris causa is bestowed by the College to individuals who have demonstrated the highest level of:

  • Dedication and achievement in clinical care or
  • Support to the development of women’s healthcare services or
  • Work or support for the RCOG

Who can nominate someone?

Only current RCOG Fellows and Members can nominate someone for a Fellowship ad eundem or Fellowship honoris causa. To nominate someone for this award, applicants must complete an online nomination form (see below) and submit a CV on behalf of the nominee. RCOG Fellows or Members may only make one nomination per year/award round.

The nominator must also identify a supporter, or second nominator, as part of the application process. The supporter must be a current RCOG Fellow or Member and may only act as supporter for one nomination per year/award round.

How are the submissions assessed?

A panel of RCOG assessors meets once a year after the application deadline to consider all nominations. During this meeting, the panel creates a list of successful nominees for ratification at Council. Successful nominees are granted either Fellowship ad eundem or Fellowship honoris causa.

Nomination forms

Nominations for 2024 are now closed and will reopen in Spring 2025.

The nomination form is hosted on the Oxford Abstracts platform below. Please register for an account using your email address.

For further guidance on how to submit your application, please see Oxford Abstracts' guidance on making a submission.

Fellowship ad eundem is awarded to people who are not members of the College but who have contributed to the advancement of the science or practice of O&G and whom Council considers have furthered the interests of the specialty.
