Summary

The Female Genital Mutilation Enhanced Dataset (FGMED) is a repository for data collected by healthcare providers in England where FGM was identified or a procedure for FGM was undertaken.

Data collected includes FGM type, age (at which FGM was undertaken and at latest attendance), country (of birth and where FGM was undertaken) and if the patient was advised of the health implications and illegalities of FGM.

This publication provides a CSV (comma-separated values) file containing data from FGMED for the period January to March 2025. Information on the fields, geographies and definitions is provided in the CSV metadata.

The publication also includes the FGM dashboard. This tool allows users to analyse and visualise the data.

Key Facts

In the reporting period January to March 2025:

There were 2,245 individual attendances where FGM was identified.

Individual attendances count each patient. If the same patient had multiple attendances, they would only be counted once.

There was a total of 4,015 attendances.

Total attendances count each attendance, even if the same patient had multiple attendances.

There were 970 newly recorded attendances.

Newly recorded means that this is the first time the patient has appeared in FGMED. It does not indicate how recently their FGM was undertaken, nor does it mean that this is the patient’s first attendance for FGM.
