How do I recertify my MFSRH/FFSRH?

Doctors that hold the MFSRH or FFSRH are required to recertify these qualifications every 5 years. You are required to collect 250 CPD credits over a 5-year period. This should be made up of 150 core and 100 non-core credits (see below). We recommend that you aim to achieve 50 credits each year, covering a range of topics/areas.

• Core credits include a range of sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) activities. See the Part One and Part Two handbooks for information on appropriate SRH topics covered. 
• Non-core credits include areas relevant to the doctor’s medical work (other than SRH) and must include education, research including audit, advocate, management & leadership 

We recommend that you collect and record evidence to support your record of CPD activities within a structured portfolio such as an online CPD diary (if available) or using an Excel spreadsheet and folder. We suggest that activities and reflections are uploaded &/or collated whilst current. We have provided an example spreadsheet that may be of use but also recognise that you have recorded data through other colleges such as the RCOG. 

You are required to self-declare that you have achieved the required CPD via the online application form. You are required to reconfirm you have read and abide by the FSRH Personal Beliefs Guidance. You are not required to provide a record or evidence of your CPD as part of the application. You may however, be requested to provide a record and evidence of your CPD if you are selected for audit. 

A percentage of applications are randomly selected for audit. Please note that the FSRH may request supporting evidence of your CPD and you must provide any supporting evidence if requested. You will not be recertified until the evidence has been reviewed and approved. If found to be making a false declaration it may result in the removal of your FSRH qualification and potential further action may be taken with your employer &/or regulatory body. We recommend that you retain your CPD records for a minimum of 1-month following confirmation of your recertification.
