RCN Northern Ireland will host an event aimed at raising awareness of FGM on 23 March at the RCN headquarters in Belfast. The conference is aimed at healthcare workers who have contact with women, children and families from communities affected by FGM. The event will explain how healthcare workers should respond if they see evidence of FGM, and how they should act in accordance with current frameworks. The RCN has also recently released a set of resources aimed at nurses and midwives who discover or suspect cases of FGM in their patients.
