Provenance
Written by SPS and the College of Sexual and Reproductive Health (CoSRH), with the support of specialist stakeholders working within clinical practice, for use within reproductive services.
August 2025 – note the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) has now changed its name to the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CoSRH). Some web pages and CoSRH documents will continue to display the FSRH name; where you see FSRH, this refers to CoSRH. All weblinks are still active. The wording in the PGD/protocol templates will be updated at their next review.
