Abstract

Introduction

With the implementation of Modernising Medical Careers, there has been considerable discussion and debate regarding the role of the urogynaecologist in secondary and tertiary care and how trainees with subspecialty training and those with a special interest fit into the current and future provision of urogynaecology services within the framework of obstetrics and gynaecology as a whole.

Discussion

Because of these changes, training in urogynaecology has and will continue to see major changes. This will also have an impact on workforce planning and service provision within the NHS. An attempt to highlight these issues has been made in this article.
