*"We ought not to judge of men's merits by their qualifications, but by the use they make of them".   (Richard Cecil)

We hope to prove to all our patients that we are worth more than our qualifications - on the other hand if you want to know what they mean look below:

MB BCh, MB ChB and MB BS are the basic medical school qualifications. I don't know why different universities use different letters.

MRCGP - Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners - You get this by undertaking speciallist GP training for 3 years and sitting some exams

DipRCOG - diploma of Royal college of Obstetrics and Gynaecology - A postgraduate qualification in obstetrics and gynaecology achieved by working in the specialty and then doing exams.

FpCert and DFFP are certificates of family planning which you get after undertaking training in family planning and proving competence in practical procedures.
