On-Island clinician to lead development of sexual assault referral services

Sat, 18 Sep 2021

The Isle of Man's Sexual Assault Referral Centre Project has appointed an on-Island clinician to lead sexual assault referral services.

Victims and survivors will benefit from a clinician-led service in a joint initiative established by Manx Care, the Department of Home Affairs, the Isle of Man Constabulary and Public Health.

The appointment of an experienced full-time forensic medical examiner will mean examinations can take place quickly on-Island, at premises in Douglas.

Dr Jenny Waters will work alongside the Isle of Man Constabulary to deliver immediate crisis care and the forensic collection of evidence to support a potential criminal prosecution, should a survivor choose to do so.
