Healthcare Based Services
SWA works closely with partners in health settings to increase the identification of domestic abuse and provide enhanced support to patients seeking help
Our health services are delivered through the following projects:
IRIS ADViSE
GP based IDVAs
IRIS ADViSE
The ADViSE (Assessing for Domestic Violence and Abuse in Sexual Health Environments) programme supports sexual health clinicians to identify and respond to patients affected by domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and provides them with a simple referral pathway to specialist services.
Core areas of the programme include ongoing training, education and consultancy for the sexual health team and administrative staff, care pathways for sexual health care practitioners and an enhanced referral pathway to specialist domestic violence services for individuals with experience of DVA.
