Medical Examinations
If you have been assaulted within the last 7 days you may be offered a forensic medical examination. This is to look after your welfare and to collect forensic evidence.
We have a team of specialist doctors and nurses who are specially trained to deal with sexual offences. These examinations take place in our fully equipped medical suite designed to protect your privacy and dignity. The doctor or nurse will speak to you before the examination to discuss what has happened to you and what the examination will entail. The staff at the CASA suite understand you may feel uncomfortable about the examination, every effort will be made to make sure you feel comfortable and supported throughout. |
