RCOG Scottish Senior Staff Conference

29 - 30 January 2027

In-person | Apex Dunblane Hydro Hotel, Scotland

Learning, Sharing and Developing Together

The RCOG Scottish Senior Staff Conference provides an opportunity for senior obstetrics and gynaecology colleagues from across Scotland to come together, share experiences and explore the challenges and opportunities facing our profession.

Alongside clinical updates and presentations, the conference will encourage discussion, reflection and shared learning. Delegates will have the opportunity to consider different perspectives, exchange ideas and explore practical approaches that can support their work and teams.

Dedicated breakout discussions will provide an opportunity to explore key issues in smaller groups, helping colleagues connect, learn from one another and consider priorities for the future of obstetrics and gynaecology services across Scotland.
