RCOG SUB SPECIALIST TRAINING
Care Fertility has been accredited by the RCOG to provide subspecialist training in reproductive medicine and surgery. This distinction is held by only a limited number of centres across the UK.
Subspecialist Training in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery
Two of our Care Fertility clinics have been accredited by the RCOG to provide subspecialist training in reproductive medicine and surgery.
Care Fertility in Northampton was recently the first independent sector clinic to be accredited by the RCOG to provide subspecialist training in reproductive medicine and surgery. This is in collaboration with the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. The Subspecialty Training Programme Supervisor is Mr Jayaprakasan and the Deputy Programme Supervisor is Dr Alison Richardson.
Care Fertility in Leeds is also an RCOG approved subspecialist training centre and has a reputation for providing exceptional quality training. The current Subspecialty Training Programme is Dr Ellissa Baskind, having recently taken over from Professor Adam Balen, and the Deputy is Dr Susie Jacob.
Why Choose Our Training Programme?
Certification process is rigorous, and only a select number of centres are accepted. Application process for trainees is therefore highly competitive.
At Care Fertility, we believe our subspecialty training posts offer invaluable experience, providing trainees with the opportunity to work in the independent sector. As IVF experience is increasingly not available through the NHS, our positions help set trainees up for a successful career in IVF. Our clinics prioritise fertility care and treatment, ensuring access to the latest technology and a quick implementation of evidence-based practices. Additionally, our network of clinics offers exposure to a wide range of treatments including donation, surrogacy and PGT-M/SR, coupled with valuable networking opportunities within the field.
Covering key areas of reproductive medicine, including:
-
Subfertility & Assisted Conception
-
Reproductive Surgery
-
Menopause & Early Pregnancy
-
Paediatric & Adolescent Gynaecology
-
Research & Innovation in Fertility Treatment

When does the course start?
Subspecialty training posts are tightly regulated by the RCOG. We will need to wait for our current subspecialty trainees to complete their training before appointing new trainees. This is anticipated to be in 2027 (Northampton) and TBC (Leeds)
