RCOG Trainees and Clinical Assessments

If you are an RCOG trainee, Chelsea Surgical Academy courses are mapped to the RCOG training curriculum, and we actively welcome relevant clinical assessments.

Where appropriate, workplace-based assessments and clinical competency assessments can be completed in collaboration with our faculty during courses or training sessions. This allows trainees to integrate high-quality surgical training with recognised assessment and portfolio requirements.

Delegates are encouraged to discuss assessment needs with faculty in advance to ensure appropriate planning and support during the course.

Certification and Feedback

All delegates attending courses at Chelsea Surgical Academy receive full certification confirming participation and successful completion of the relevant programme or online module.

Our training is designed to support structured progression in surgical competence, and where applicable, courses and modules are aligned with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) training curriculum. This ensures relevance to recognised training pathways and professional development requirements.

Chelsea Surgical Academy places strong emphasis on constructive feedback and reflective learning. Delegates receive guidance from experienced faculty to support ongoing skill development, with opportunities for discussion, review, and progression planning.
