After three successful consecutive senior clinical fellowships, we started subspecialty training for gynaecological oncology in August 2025. Our first subspecialty trainee finishes their subspecialty training in May 2027.

Successful candidates will have a good chance of continuing subspecialty training once we have reaccredited. Reaccreditation is to be expected in August 2027. The RUH Bath Gynaecological Cancer Centre serves a population of 1 million and treats more than 300 new cancers per annum.
