Education and Training is one of our most important activities and we aim to offer something for members from any professional background and at any stage in their careers.

The BFS certification modules allow BFS members to access specialised training in nine of the key areas involved in reproductive medicine. These certifications are well recognised in the UK by both private and NHS hospitals. The associated study day’s educational content is provided by renowned and accomplished clinicians working in the field of Fertility.

The modules allow for a more focused and in depth approach than is offered by more general training courses, like the Sub-fertility ATSM. The areas covered in the training modules are deemed by experts in the field to be of particular relevance to contemporary clinical practice and will enable the participants to work towards real expertise.

In addition to our ever-popular joint BFS/RCOG course held in the College every April, our annual Study Week goes from strength to strength. Transposing Study Week to a virtual format allowed us to continue to provide first-class education, while providing much needed flexibility to support our members during the current covid crisis.
