Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The committee was set up in 1962 by Council under the chairmanship of Professor C H G Macafee to examine and report on trends in the development of obstetrics and gynaecology as a speciality with particular reference to recruitment, teaching research and training in the United Kingdom. It obtained information from undergraduates through a questionnaire and a random sample of personal interviews by the chairman. The committee produced a report to the College in 1966, and the information it amassed was used in the College's submission to the Royal Commission on Medical Education in 1968.
