About BGCS
The British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) is the professional home of health providers working and researching the area of gynaecological cancers.
Our members consist of medical practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and other allied professionals, including scientists who have an interest in gynaecological cancers. We represent trainees, nurses, unit leads, oncologists, pathologists and radiologists and over 400 members regularly attend our annual conference.
Through our active subgroups we focus on commissioning, guideline development, training and IT matters and we provide a united voice at the highest level.
We have produced draft service specifications for gynaecological cancer services, an endometrial cancer guideline, a vulval cancer guideline in conjunction with the RCOG and have continued to support an annual trainees meeting in Oxford. We also offer bursaries for nursing colleagues attending the annual conference, and provide expert representation to NICE on consultation documents ensuring that clinicians are at the very heart of the development of the new national ovarian cancer registry.
Who we are
The society is an expert group capable of discussing, performing and formulating policy on gynaecological cancer research and treatment. The society is made up of a membership who must be introduced to and approved by the council. Members include medical practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and other allied professionals, including scientists who have an interest in gynaecological cancers.
What we do
We have one aim: To advance the science and art of gynaecological oncology for the benefit of the public.
How we do this
We organise meetings and events which provide an opportunity for people to share, discuss and debate new information. The BGCS promotes, supports and helps develop new laboratory based and clinical research projects and encourages publication of the results.
