This discrete e-platform was created with funding from the Department of Health and NHS England, and aims to provide a virtual forum of support where relevant resources can be accessed, including links to appropriate data on FGM. The e-network also acts as a confidential platform for discussion of issues or specific problems, and for sharing information and best practice in a safe space.
FGM Reconstruction Surgery
A new project is underway, ACERS-UK, the end goal of which is to establish a National Centre of Excellence providing FGM reconstruction surgery with psychosexual therapy as a treatment option for FGM survivors. We believe funding research into surgical reconstruction and psychosexual services is essential to address the unmet need of survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM).
New to the community?
Whether you are a specialist midwife, health visitor, GP, health professional, or simply working towards ending FGM, you can share ideas, questions and resources with colleagues.
