Sims Black Travelling Professorship

The Sims Black Travelling Professorship enables institutions and groups outside of the UK and the Republic of Ireland to invite RCOG Fellows and Members to visit their countries. The visiting professionals contribute to postgraduate education and assist in developing programmes to advance obstetrics and gynaecology through lecturing, teaching or research collaborations. Established in 1951 by Sir Arthur and Lady Sims, their daughter Mrs Margaret Black, and Messrs Cooper, Triffitt and Company, the Sims Black Travelling Professorship aims to advance obstetrics and gynaecology in countries beyond the UK and the Republic of Ireland. After completing the visit, the Travelling Professor is required to submit a detailed report of their activities to the College.
