About Us
We are a patient-centred organisation, delivering support and advocacy services to people who have had these experiences whilst a patient. Our services are designed to help patients understand what has happened and to provide a safe place to talk and access support and information. We aim to assist those patient victims and survivors and their families on a path to healing and justice.
We believe that we have an additional and equally important role to play in the area of prevention. Patients are vulnerable to sexual abuse because of lack of awareness of this potential risk, which arises because of the imbalance of power between patient and practitioner. The importance of educating and empowering patients cannot be underestimated.
Though this has long been a taboo subject, we believe in the importance of educating the public, healthcare professionals, the media, politicians and policy makers on this subject. Our ultimate goal is to create a culture where patient protection from any form of sexual abuse is to the fore in the delivery of health services and that a zero tolerance response is adhered to.
