Navigating the sensitive topic of violence, abuse, and neglect in clinical practice can be challenging for GPs, especially when there's concern about causing further harm to survivors. In this insightful podcast, we explore practical strategies to help GPs build confidence in addressing these critical issues. Listen in as we discuss: • Common barriers GPs face, such as fear of triggering patients, lack of confidence, and navigating referral pathways. • The importance of fostering trust and reducing shame through compassionate, patient-centred responses. • Real-world case studies, top tips, and expert insights on how to respond effectively and create a safe, supportive space for patients. • Practical tools and clear referral pathways to empower GPs in their role as frontline responders to violence and abuse. By the end of this episode, GPs will be better equipped to handle disclosures of violence, abuse, and neglect, ensuring they provide the best care and support to those in need.
