ATSM’s

Obstetrics & Gynaecology is now so diverse that a series of ATSM’s have been designed to enhance the skills required by future Consultants.  Trainees will be expected to complete a minimum of two ATSM’s during the two year period (ST6&7) and are asked to regularly check the ATSM page on the College website for the most up-to-date information.  There have been a number of changes to ATSM’s that came into effect on 1st August 2011 and these are detailed here.
