The RCOG works with trusts and health boards to manage the approval of job plans for consultant and specialist (senior SAS) doctor posts in O&G.
By reviewing and approving these roles and supplying AAC assessors for RCOG approved roles, the RCOG helps to uphold standards in the specialty and protect the workforce. Effective job planning ensures that consultant and specialist contracts are balanced while allowing new appointees to deliver high standards of patient care.
