The Scottish Career Framework for Nursing in Sexual and Reproductive Health

Nurses are increasingly involved in the planning, delivery and evaluation of care to individuals within a sexual and reproductive health setting. This care will involve the management of complex emotional and physical conditions and as such requires advanced level communication skills, clinical competence underpinned by a sound education and research base and delivered through strong and visible leadership. 

The development of this Career Framework for Nursing in Sexual and Reproductive Health will assist senior nurses and service leads identify the practice and competence required to provide a high quality of care and allow for the benchmarking of existing roles. 

PSORHN History & Founding Members

PSORHN takes its history two years ago when a couple of nurses became actively involved in the Reproductive Health Bill advocacy and campaign. These nurses recognized the need for an organized group to continue the advocacy and saw the need to specialize on sexual & reproductive health and rights (SRHR) going beyond maternal & child health.

This group of nurses launched an online campaign group known as RNs for RH which was largely operating in a social networking site known as Facebook. During the initial stages of conceptualizing for PSORHN, it took the name Reproductive Health Nurses Association of the Philippines (RHNAP) but later was changed to PSORHN since majority of the active founding members agreed to use of Society instead of Association.
