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.

Interpreting electrocardiogram (ECG) results is a key skill for GPs. We need to be comfortable in reading them and then deciding further steps in management. As GPs we need to be familiar with the normal variants and then be able to identify those rhythms that need referrals. These are key skills that help GPs practice safely and with confidence. It is important to avoid unnecessary referrals but also not to overlook findings that would need referral. 

Learning objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Confidently interpret a normal ECG and normal variants
  • Interpret rhythms that need urgent referral to the secondary care
  • Interpret rhythms which need routine referrals

This session focuses on the major 2023 shift in international polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) guidance, which emphasises the condition’s metabolic underpinnings and evolving definitions. We will update you on how genotype and phenotype distinctions shape management strategies, the significance of  anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) testing, and how new injectable fertility treatments are transforming outcomes for patients with PCOS. The session blends endocrine nuance with practical treatment tips to improve fertility care in real life.

Learning Objectives: 

  • PCOS phenotype vs genotype: what it means in the clinic.
  • AMH and egg count: how to interpret and use.
  • Metabolic syndrome and long-term health.
  • Injectables in PCOS fertility treatment: what's changed and why it matters.

Pelvic pain is often complex, persistent and misdiagnosed. This webinar aims to untangle the overlapping clinical features of endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory dieses (PID). Through practical case examples and real-time polling, we will help you strengthen your diagnostic reasoning, improve patient communication, and gain clarity on when to treat, when to refer, and how to advocate for patients in multidisciplinary settings.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Endometriosis vs adenomyosis: how to spot the difference.
  • Fibroids and PID - when they are the cause, and when they're not.
  • Diagnostic pathways: what's appropriate and accessible.
  • Supporting patients through delay, uncertainty and impact.

This webinar explores the UK’s uniquely high rates of endometrial cancer, drawing attention to under-recognised risk factors and the limitations of current diagnostic pathways, especially the inconsistent application of fast-track hysteroscopy. With a clinical focus on pre and perimenopausal women, participants will review how to distinguish between heavy and irregular bleeding, when to suspect endometrial cancer, and how to respond with timely, effective investigations.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Recognise key risk factors for endometrial cancer in pre and perimenopausal women.
  • Distinguish between heavy and irregular bleeding and identify red flags.
  • Understand when and how to investigate or refer using current pathways.
