Many survivors of sexual assault or sexual abuse find healthcare appointments distressing, particularly appointments which may involve physical examinations such as cervical screening.

The Survivors Trust and The Eve Appeal are collaborating as part of the #CheckWithMeFirst campaign to help raise awareness of the challenges survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual violence may face when accessing cervical screening.

You can find out more about the #CheckWithMeFirst campaign and access The Survivor’s Trust’s resources for medical professionals on their website.
