The new TOG podcast
Location and access
The TOG podcast is available to all RCOG members and non-members on RCOG Learning, our online learning resource for O&G professionals at all stages of their careers.
To access the podcast, you will need to log in to RCOG Learning with your RCOG website login details (or register for an account if you do not have one yet) and opt-in to accept the RCOG Learning terms and conditions on your first visit.
Once logged in, you can find the podcast on the TOG podcasts page by clicking ‘Access my course now’, or via the ‘My courses’ menu on your RCOG Learning homepage.
Click through the introduction to the podcast resource to find each episode. After listening to the episodes, you have the option of reflecting on your learning and how you might apply it to your practice.
Podcast content
The TOG podcast was launched in 2023. In each episode, TOG Editors speak to authors of TOG articles and prominent figures in the O&G community to gain valuable insight into their areas of interest and careers.
In most episodes, TOG Editors speak to authors of recently published TOG articles to explore their topic a bit further: why is it so important? what are the main things we should take away from each TOG article? and where can we find out more?
In the ‘What I’ve learnt…’ series, TOG Editors delve into the lives of prominent figures in the O&G community to find out what really lead them to practise in this field and the lessons they’ve learnt along the way. A ‘must listen’ for O&G Trainees in particular.

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, the most recent questions are free to access for everyone, whether you are preparing for an exam or not. They can be found on the RCOG eLearning website.
Please read the page on TOG CPD questions in the Guide to CPD.
