Below is the response from the Royal College of General Practitioners who were similarly approached for improved education on the topic of fertility awareness.
Truth be told I find it frustrating that they take this 'we are aware and have it under control' approach to the issue, when clearly they do not. See my reply to their response below also:

Subject: RE: Letter to Royal College of General Practitioners
Thank you for your letter sent to the Royal College of General Practitioners on 18th August 2010, the content of which has been duly noted. The College does have these issues in our MRCGP curriculum and we appreciate their importance.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Amanda Howe
Honorary Secretary
Royal College of General Practitioners
THE REPLY BACK SAME DAY:
Dear Professor Howe,
Thank you for your reply. While I see that you say that these issues are on the MRCGP curriculum, which is encouraging, from experience as a patient I am able to tell you that the information is not being passed on by GPs in the manner that perhaps you expect or anticipate.

Therefore, my recommendation to you would be to re-visit the teaching of those modules and to issue memoranda to practising general practitioners as to the importance of their pro-activity in this area. Reinforcement of the point as part of GP's continuing professional development training would also be recommended.
