What is the CSRH programme?
The FSRH oversees the Community Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CSRH) Specialty Training Programme. The CSRH programme is a central route available to medical practitioners who wish to specialise in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (SRH).

About the training programme and working in the Specialty
The CSRH Training Programme is comprised of a six-year run-through training programme commencing at ST1. The programme follows the CSRH curriculum and is divided into basic (years 1-3), intermediate (years 4-5) and advanced (year 6) training.

Basic training focuses in O&G and SRH. Trainees will follow different competencies from O&G trainees which are focused towards medical Gynaecology rather than Labour Ward expertise. Gynaecological competencies will need to be maintained throughout training.
Intermediate training will extend the strand of Gynaecology and SRH, which will continue to include unplanned pregnancy and Abortion Care, Public Health, Genitourinary Medicine, Sexual Assault and Sexual Problems.

Advanced Training will be a year of completing all outstanding competencies but with opportunities for shadowing and preparing for a role as a consultant.

Additionally, throughout the programme the trainee will undergo training in leadership and management. The programme develops the skills required to lead and manage the community based Sexual Health services of the future and lead large multidisciplinary teams.
