A message to our members from FSRH President, Dr Janet Barter: Channel 4 Pill Revolution

‎

Together, we're raising the profile of sexual and reproductive healthcare.

The recent channel 4 documentary on the pill invites us and challenges us all to have a conversation about contraception. The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare improves the lives of women by supporting our members across the health service, the vast majority of whom are in primary care.  

As such, today I want to recognise, value and thank all of you who are highly trained, highly skilled, and who are improving the lives of women.  

You, our members, are a highly trained and skilled professional, delivering essential sexual and reproductive healthcare for women every day.  

We’re committed to advocating for the resources and support you need to continue this vital service. 

Together, we're working to achieve our vision of better healthcare for all. 

Dr Janet Barter, FSRH President
