Introduction to FGM Recording and Reporting (2015/16)

The Vision+ FGM Recording and Reporting (2015/16) pathway enables you to accurately view and record a female patient's Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) history. The Practice Report generated in Vision+ helps decide whether a patient is appropriate to include in the Excel claim file that can be uploaded, via CAP (Clinical Audit Platform), to NHS England:

Patient Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria

The following criteria apply:

• Male patients are automatically excluded.
• Female patients of all ages are eligible.
• Female patients with FGM clinical terms automatically list in the report. The clinical terms included are:
  • 15K - History of Female Genital Mutilation
  • K578 - Female Genital Mutilation
  • K5780 - FGM type I - WHO classification
  • K5781 - FGM type II - WHO classification
  • K5782 - FGM type III - WHO classification
  • K5783 - FGM type IV - WHO classification
• Consent is not mandatory, but it is recommended, therefore, the FGM reports display the different consent statuses per patient (consent/dissent/absent) but the final decision to include a patient or not is with the practice.
• GP2GP does not pick up the specific free-text around the issue of consent, so new patients to the practice with FGM clinical terms are reported by the module as having consent absent with relation to the extract.
