Oxford Rose Clinic
Oxford Rose Clinic is based at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
This is a confidential service providing support for women and girls who have undergone female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C).
The clinic is run by a team of female doctors with experience in women's health, chronic pain, psychosexual therapy and psychological medicine.
It offers a wide range of care including:
- help with gynaecological and bladder issues
- information about deinfibulation ('opening' procedure)
- help with pelvic pain
- psychological support and counselling
- advice on contraception and sexual health
- pregnancy.
The team is led by Dr Brenda Kelly, Consultant Obstetrician and Clinical Lead for women with FGM in Oxfordshire.
Clinics run every two weeks on a Friday.
Women can refer themselves to the clinic, or be referred by health visitors, GPs, community midwives or other health professionals.
