Pelvic Floor Complex Examination – a guidance paper

Expectations of educational programmes in vaginal and/or anorectal examination and/or interventional procedures for physiotherapists

This document sets out guidance for any provider of education and training programmes that include the teaching of vaginal and/or anorectal examination, assessment and interventional  techniques. It is a consensus document offering  information on best practice in this area of pelvic health training.

POGP believe that public interest and patient/practitioner safety and clinical excellence needs can be addressed by setting out clear and concise expectations of additional training including internal assessment and treatment techniques. 

POGP welcome any comments which should be sent to info@thepogp.co.uk with the subject heading  PFCE-Guidance paper
