Welcome to the RCGP’s Women’s Health Library

This online library provides educational resources and guidelines on women’s health that are relevant to GPs and other primary healthcare professionals. It brings together national guidance, resources produced by the RCGP,  the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CoSRH), and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG),  along with resources from other authoritative sources.  These resources will be helpful for those who wish to develop a more specialised interest in women's health.

Navigating the library: to allow quick and easy access to the resources, the library is divided into the following sections, each of which covers a different area of women’s health: Maternal Health; Sexual and Reproductive Health; Gynaecology and Breast; and Peri/Post-Menopause. More general resources on women's health are contained in the General section. 

Each main section is made up of different topics. Within each topic, resources are grouped by format, such as eLearning, guidelines, reviews, events and courses. The list of topics for that section will appear on the screen – simply scroll through to find the topic / format of interest. At the top of the page there will be a link to navigate to other sections. 

To get started, click on the section titles below to access links to all the topic resources within each section. Resources marked as FREE are accessible free of charge to all RCGP members. Members may be required to pay to access other resources.

The CoSRH, RCGP and RCOG run courses relevant to women's health in primary care, such as the joint RCGP/RCOG One-Day Essential in Women's Health.
