St Mary's SARC: Forensic & Medical Examination for Rape and Sexual Assault (FMERSA) 2010

7th September 2010 - 9th September 2010
Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre, Fallowfield, Manchester

This two-module course presents Doctors and Nurses with the opportunity to train towards conducting forensic examinations of rape and sexual assault victims, under the direction of the UK’s longest established sexual assault referral centre and largest single-site university.

The course includes the medical, psychological, social and legal aspects of rape and sexual assault, focussing on the forensic examination, the collection of evidence and testimony at court. The curriculum covered will help clinicians prepare to take the membership exam for the FFLM and also the upcoming competency based Diploma FCASA. This Dip FCASA will be held at the Apothecaries. The Department of Health is aiming for all clinicians in this line of work to have at least the Dip FCASA qualification. St. Mary’s FMERSA Course covers the syllabus for this and will provide an excellent study resource.


Module One: 2 - 4 February and 2 - 4 March 2010
Module Two: 7 - 9 September and 12 - 14 October 2010
