Women's Health Safeguarding

  

Domestic abuse is common and can result in significant health issues for victims. While both men and women can be affected by domestic abuse, women are disproportionately the victims and experience greater harms. The majority of victims of domestic homicide are women. Domestic abuse has (or can be associated with) widespread impacts on mental and physical health, which may be encountered in general practice. This course considers how domestic abuse may be present and can be recognised in general practice consultations and is aligned to level 3 RCGP safeguarding standards. This course falls within the consulting in general practice curriculum field.

Production, editorial, and distribution owned by the Royal College of General Practitioners.
