Changes

The '''British Medical Association''' (BMA) is a [[medical trade association]] {trade union ) for British medical doctors. The BMA's headquarters are at BMA House, Tavistock Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1H 9JP.

The 2019 BMA guidance regarding non-therapeutic circumcision of boys is divided into twelve “cards”. Card Four discusses law. [[Human rights ]] law is recognised but the BMA fail to understand the significance of [[human rights ]] law. The BMA do not clearly state that [[human rights ]] law grants rights to children which helps to define the best interests of the child and should be respected and protected. The 2019 BMA Guidance for members on non-therapeutic circumcision of minors was withdrawn in Feburary 2025. A new guidance for treatment of children and young people under 16 has been published. Updated information regarding non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of young people is now contained in Chapter 15.<ref>{{REFdocument |title=Ethics toolkit: Children and young people under 16 |url=https://www.bma.org.uk/media/swsfdkbw/children-and-young-people-under-16-toolkit.pdf |contribution= |last=Anonymous |first= |publisher=British Medical Association |format=PDF |date=2025-02 |accessdate=2025-02-27}}</ref>{{SEEALSO}}* [[United Kingdom]]
