There is a session held each year when the ATSM Director (Dr A Cope) will discuss ATSMs, advice on choosing them and answer any questions.
A large range of ATSMs are offered across the West of Scotland but every unit cannot offer every ATSM. The table below lists the current ATSMs offered by each unit.
In order to be registered for an ATSM you need to have a form signed by your ATSM supervisor, the ATSM preceptor and the ATSM director. Copies of the form can be found on the RCOG website.
