FACULTY OF SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE

That this House acknowledges the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare's name change from the Faculty of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care; recognises that the change reflects the broad and holistic remit of the Faculty's training programmes, which include sexual health promotion and education, contraception, preconceptual care, medical gynaecology, sexually transmitted infection screening, testing and treatment, abortion care and sexual dysfunction services; notes that the clinicians delivering these services work in a wide variety of disciplines across primary and secondary care including specialist community services, treating patients and contributing to the training and education of other professionals; acknowledges that the sexual and reproductive health services the Faculty supports exist to provide everyone with the information they need to enable them to enjoy a healthy sexual life of their choice and, as far as possible, to avoid unwanted consequences; and calls on the Department of Health to take action to prevent the closure of community clinics and send a clear signal to primary care trusts that limiting access to contraceptive choice, sexual healthcare provision and professional training will have long-lasting negative health and economic effects on individuals and the community.
