Have you or your child been affected by fetal exposure to medications like Sodium Valproate?
Do you live in the North West or North East of England?
We’re encouraging families to come forward and access the Fetal Exposure Medicines Service (FEMS) a specialist trial NHS service designed to support individuals affected by exposure to certain medicines during pregnancy.
We want to hear from you and do comment below if:
- You’ve had trouble getting a referral to FEMS
- You’ve been refused a referral by a GP or healthcare professional
- You’ve not yet had a formal review or diagnosis
- You or your child have a diagnosis, but could benefit from a clinical review with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, neuropsychologist or other professionals to improve care, support, and quality of life.
Please help us re-share this in your networks and support groups, uptake has been slower than hoped, and we know many families are still missing out on this vital help.
More information (for Manchester/North West region) is available here:
