Conscientious Objection – Please ensure you have read the following statement before proceeding with an application.
 
Doctors who, for reasons of conscientious belief, have reservations about aspects of sexual and reproductive health care should take particular care to make a detailed study of the entire curriculum in CSRH before considering an application to the Specialty Training Programme.
 
We would draw attention to the fact that the only exemptions relating to conscientious objection permitted within the curriculum are within CiP 8.  Exemptions are permitted around participation in abortion only (in line with Section 4(1) of the 1967 Abortion Act). There are no exemptions to competencies relating to management of unplanned pregnancy, follow-up of women after abortion, nor to any knowledge components of the curriculum.
 
If potential candidates would like further advice on this matter they are encourage to contact the Specialty Development Officer (specialty@fsrh.org) at FSRH who will put them in contact with a Specialty Training Programme Director in their area for further assistance.
