Faculty of Travel Medicine FGM e-learning Resource Launched

21 November 2018

The RCPSG Faculty of Travel Medicine have launched a free e-learning resource: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

FGM is a violation of the human rights of girls and women, but despite this currently more than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone the procedure.

This accredited online learning package has been produced by subject experts in the College’s Travel Medicine Faculty and is being made freely available to healthcare professionals. The course aims to assist nurses, pharmacists and doctors in overcoming the potential barriers there may be to raising the topic in a travel medicine consultation, and gives practical support to those who find themselves in this situation.

Its key features are:

  • it will help increase the confidence of travel medicine practitioners when addressing this very important issue in pre-travel consultations
  • it is free to access from the RCPSG website
  • it consists of a programme of videos, presentations and other information which takes around one hour to complete, and is CPD accredited.
