Opportunity to feed into new Healthcare guidelines.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland is seeking the involvement of survivors, and those working to support survivors, on the development of new guidelines for healthcare and forensic medical services for people who have experienced rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse. They are particularly interested in gaining further insight from survivors of childhood abuse and/ or those working in remote / rural areas.
How to help
The 2019 guidelines which are being updated can be found here: Healthcare and forensic medical services for people who have experienced rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse.
