This webinar will review the current state of non-fatal strangulation (NFS) with a focus on the proposed law changes. All clinicians should be aware of NFS and its significance. It is essential to be able to make an appropriate enquiry, understand current and proposed legislation, the symptoms and signs of these presentations, and know how to clinically manage and refer these patients. 

Dr Catherine White OBE, Clinical Director St Mary’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), Manchester, has been instrumental in ensuring current legislation was reviewed and changed following her ground-breaking research. Dr White will be giving the key lecture. 

Dr White has conducted extensive research into NFS among Saint Mary’s SARC clients. The results of this research led to the creation of a multi-agency working group, with members drawn from the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the Probation Service, forensic pathology, as well as Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) colleagues from other departments, such as Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) and radiology.

This webinar will be available for registered delegates 30 days after on Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.

CPD learning applied. 

This webinar will provide a keen understanding of:  

  • Current and proposed legislation on the topic of non-fatal strangulation (NFS)
  • The importance of NFS and how to manage it
  • The importance of effective communication between clinicians of different disciplines
