About this event
This in-person training day provides an opportunity for networking, in-person support and discussion about service delivery including perspectives from other experts working in the area of non-fatal strangulation.
Priority is given to applicants who are accredited SAATS forensic examiners or PMOs; those who work for services with a high caseload to clinician ratio; and those who can contribute to the provision of their local non-acute NFSS service. MEDSAC will contact the lead clinician of your local SAATS/NFSS service before confirming your spot, so please ensure your local SAATS can support you in this work before applying.
We have a maximum of 20 attendees and this session is open to previous attendees.
