Available until 7 January 2027.
GPs are the first port of call for womens health issues. We manage the majority of them without recourse to secondary care, even though the amount of time that medical school and vocational training devotes to subjects such as contraception and the menopause can be variable. When we do refer, our patients wait for many months or years, during which we manage symptoms and answer our patients questions.
In this One Day Essentials conference, Dr Toni Hazell and a group of leading speakers will focus on essential information, latest evidence, practical tips and take-home messages to help improve practice and patient outcomes. The primary care perspective will be foremost in all of the talks, with consideration of the real-life decisions that we make every day whilst working in an under-resourced system. There will be ample opportunity for questions.
Topics include:
- Contraception update
- Troubleshooting in the menopause
- A holistic approach to female urinary incontinence and prolapse
- Primary care presentations of breast pathology
- If you're old enough to have periods, you're old enough to take the pill - Adolescent gynaecology in primary care
- A primary care approach to fertility
- A primary care approach to abnormal vaginal bleeding
Conference Chair:
Dr Toni Hazell, GP and RCGP eLearning fellow
