The practical sessions include peer physical examination.  Female participants may choose to act as a model during the practical sessions. Valid consent procedures are used throughout. A participant choosing to act as a model may opt out of having practical techniques performed on them at any stage.\n\nPlease note: vaginal examination is not included as any part of this workshop.\n\nWhilst not a pre-requisite POGP advises that completion of the ‘Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: female urinary dysfunction – an entry level course’ (or equivalent) is beneficial before attending this workshop.\n\nProgramme objectives\n\n1.

Another alternative is for course participants to arrange to have their own ‘live’ model present but they must meet any extra costs incurred.\n\nIn the case of a participant declining to complete at least one ano-rectal examination on a ‘live’ model it will not be possible to complete the skills checklist and the participant will not be able to complete the programme.\n\nValid consent procedures are used throughout. A participant choosing to act as a model may opt out of having practical techniques performed on them at any stage.\n\n
