The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) is a professional body. The RCOG is dedicated to the encouragement of the study and the advancement of the science and practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. This is done through post graduate medical education and training development, and the publication of clinical guidelines and reports on aspects of the speciality and service provision. The RCOG international office works with other international organisations to help lower maternal morbidity and mortality in under-resourced countries.

The College also has an active Consumers' Forum through which it maintains links with patients and their concerns. The College thus ensures that the views of patients are taken into account in the development of its activities - see www.rcog.org.uk/womens-health/patient-information/rcog-consumers-forum
