Information for lapsed members of FSRH

We understand your circumstances may change over time. Below are your options if you want to reinstate your membership with us. 

I'd like to re-join the FSRH, what do I need to do?

If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join FSRH, you will be required to pay back your 'missing' years (at the current rate) to ensure you have continuous membership which is required for recertifying your Diploma, Letter of Competence, or MFSRH qualification. 

Read more about membership here.

If your membership has lapsed, this means that you will no longer receive your membership benefits, and you will not be reminded of any recertification dates, if you hold a FSRH qualification.

I'm a lapsed FSRH member and I want to recertify my qualification, what should I do?

FSRH Council believes that membership of the FSRH – and therefore access to the latest clinical guidance, standards, Journal, CPD questions and regular updates – is an important part of the recertification process. 

Recertification is one of our member benefits and free to current FSRH members.  

Recertification helps you to: 

  • demonstrate the learning outcomes achieved from your qualification(s) have been maintained 
  • show you have the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviour needed to provide safe and effective sexual and reproductive health care (SRH) 
  • meet the requirements of commissioners, who often require clinicians to have certified qualifications 

If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join FSRH, you will be required to pay back your 'missing' years at our current rate to ensure you have continuous membership which is required for recertifying your primary qualification. 

You can easily do this by contacting us. We can take payment by phone using a debit or credit card, it will take a few minutes to do this for you. 

You can also pay a one-off recertification fee for our Letters of Competence (LoC) qualification. This is £400 per LoC.

If you think you might qualify for a reduced subscription on your back fees, please contact us to find out how to claim.
