- 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
A 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.
