    Gynaecologists are specialist doctors, so the way you become one is to go to medical school, qualify as a doctor and then take training posts to specialise in gynaecology.

    If you already have a degree then you can do a graduate medicine course, if not you do the full medical course, which usually takes 6 years. Getting onto medical courses is very competitive and usually wants high grades in science A levels, or another demonstration that you've got the skills to cope with the course.

    If it's sounding less appealing then you could look for associated jobs, midwifery or nursing with a speciality.

    You might find it useful to look at this website - it's advice on working in the NHS.

    This page tells you all about obstetrics and gynaecology. You could also look at Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists' website.

    If you can't even spell it, it's time to do some googling :P

    That website always makes me laugh.

    Doesn't even list my job as a "career" option...

    Te he, maybe- but to be fair, it does have silly spelling.
