East of England consultant appointed Head of National Postgraduate School of Community Sexual and Reproductive Health

Dr Catherine Schunmann said: “Women need accessible, flexible and personalised reproductive healthcare throughout their lives. A National School of Community Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare is an essential component of ensuring that highly skilled consultants are available to lead and support multidisciplinary teams providing that care in a rapidly changing world. It is a privilege to be a part of the development of tomorrow's consultants, and this role is an opportunity to use my experience to continue to support and encourage the next generation of specialists.”

The Trust warmly congratulates Dr Schunmann on her appointment and looks forward to continuing to work with her in her new national role. Her expertise, leadership and commitment to training make her exceptionally well placed to support the development of Community Sexual and Reproductive Health services and education across England.

Colleagues across the Trust, particularly within the iCaSH (Integrated Contraception and Sexual Health) service, are proud to see one of their clinical leaders recognised through this important appointment.

Dr Schunmann will transition into the role over the coming months.
