FSRH submission to the Women's Health Strategy - Call for Evidence 13 June 2021

The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) welcomes the opportunity to submit a response to the consultation ‘Regulating healthcare professionals, protecting the public’ by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

This statement is a FSRH CEU response to a public consultation conducted by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regarding licensing of two brands of desogestrel 75mcg progestogen-only pill (POP) as Pharmacy Medicines (P). The products are Hana® (Laboratoire HRA Pharma) and Lovima® (Maxwellia Ltd).

FSRH, along with fellow Royal colleges, charities, and health bodies have written to Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock to call for more support for health and care professionals to identify signs of domestic abuse, and to signpost adult and child victims of domestic abuse to appropriate support services.

On 24 April the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) changed its regulatory position on medicines containing sodium valproate. MHRA advises that if a woman of childbearing age is to be prescribed sodium valproate, she must be enrolled in a pregnancy prevention programme (PPP). This FSRH statement outlines the implications for daily practice.
