Administrative / Biographical History

The Blair-Bell Research Society was initially established as a research club to informally discuss obstetrical and gynaecological issues at meetings held approximately every three months. In 1961 the RCOG agreed that the society could use College premises as a regular venue for the club’s meetings. From 1962 the club is referred to in College correspondence as 'the Blair-Bell Research Society', and the College President has usually been the Society's president
