Completing FGM Claims
The purpose of the FGM claims is to assist NHS England in obtaining FGM prevalence. The FGM Recording and Reporting (2015/16) Vision+ pathway helps to record the mandatory columns (marked in red) in Excel with the remaining columns being optional. To download the Excel spreadsheets refer to either:
- Vision+ FGM Recording and Reporting (2015/16) Template, see Accessing the FGM Template, or
- How to submit FGM data using CAP (NHS England)
Important - For more information on running the automated programme please contact the Helpdesk.
Even if you only have one patient you must record their details in all three Excel files and save them as a csv file before uploading to the CAP website. Below are instructions on how to review the information required to claim and complete the three Excel files:
- Collecting Patient Information, see Reviewing Patient Information.
- Attendance Excel File, see Attendance.
- FGM Excel File, see FGM.
- Patient Excel File, see Patient.Note - The Excel claims are used by other healthcare organisations outside of primary care so many of the columns do not require completing by GP Practices.
