About OGCASTS

OGCASTS provides accurate and high-quality podcasts tailored for candidates preparing to sit the MRCOG exam.

Each OGCAST is professionally recorded and edited, is around 20 minutes in length and examines a key area of the MRCOG curriculum. They are based on relevant clinical guidelines issued by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists or the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence, but often incorporate other recommended sources for exam preparation, such as TOG articles. 

The podcasts take the form of dialogues which are concise yet discursive, and cover the main points candidates will be expected to know for their MRCOG examination.

Presently we have uploaded podcasts which will help preparation for the obstetrics element of the Part 2 MRCOG examination, but we are in the process of producing more podcasts which we will add to the website. 

 

OGCASTS was created in 2017 by Daniel Stott and Matthew Izett, two London-based Doctors who specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology.

He passed the MRCOG in 2017, and has completed an MD with King's College London, on maternal haemodynamics in pre-eclampsia and sub specialist training in maternal and fetal medicine at UCLH. He is presently a consultant obstetrician at UCLH.

Matthew Izett graduated from Peninsula Medical School in 2010. He passed the MRCOG in 2016, and is presently a specialty registrar training in the prestigious London Deanery. He is currently conducting research for an MD at University College Hospital, London, and undertaking subspecialty training in urogynaecology at Oxford.
