Strengthening capacity to respond to family and domestic violence
23 Apr 2024
The RACGP is holding the Overcoming barriers for addressing domestic and family violence (DFV) webinar to give participants an understanding of the barriers faced by both survivors and health practitioners, and how these may be overcome.
The webinar, on Tuesday, 7 May from 12.30pm to 1.15pm, will also outline the expectations survivors have from health practitioners and a model for health practitioners’ readiness to address DFV.
The Safer Families Centre has developed a clinical audit CPD activity for GPs on Intimate Partner Violence Identification (IPV) and initial response which complements the Overcoming barriers for addressing domestic and family violence webinar.
The activity aims to provide a better understanding of IPV and how to identify and ask patients about it.
GPs will also strengthen their capacity to identify barriers to asking about IPV and how to overcome those barriers. The activity also attracts up to 10 RACGP CPD hours for GPs.
