About the event

The University of Surrey in collaboration with the Surrey and Borders NHS foundation trust present a research workshop on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The aim of the workshop is to create greater awareness of FASD and to expand the UK FASD research network by facilitating new collaborations between researchers and professionals.

FASD represents a range of conditions caused by exposure to alcohol in utero. It is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions and the UK is estimated to have the seventh highest prevalence rates of FASD in the world, at 3.2% meaning that at least 250,000 children are affected. Despite the elevated risk for poor clinical outcomes in children with FASD, understanding and awareness of this population is limited. However, awareness is growing and new government guidelines specify that health services must improve access to diagnosis and provide support services to support those with FASD.
