Doctors and nurses who have a moral objection to prescribing ‘contraceptives’ which act by killing human embryos are to be barred from receiving diplomas in sexual and reproductive health even if they undertake the necessary training.
Under new rules issued by the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health (FSRH) these medics are also to be barred from membership of the faculty and from speciality training. The FSRH is a faculty of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
The result is that those who have a moral objection to fitting coils or prescribing the morning-after pill cannot train to treat infertility, cervical cancer or HIV either. This effectively means that many thousands of doctors will not now be able to pursue a career in gynaecology and sexual health.
