Ep 110 – Sexual violence (part 2‪)‬ GPnotebook Podcast

Disclosing sexual violence is a difficult and emotional prospect for a patient and the way a GP responds can set the course of that person’s journey. It is important we get it right, but it is a complex topic. In this second part of our series on sexual violence, Dr James Waldron is joined again by Hayley Wilson (Consent and Sexual Violence Development Officer at Nottingham Trent University) to explore the consultation in detail. This episode discusses how to respond to a disclosure and the importance of “listen, believe, validate” when supporting a patient. They outline the concept (and myth) of the “perfect victim”, the importance of the language we use and how to help guide someone who has made a disclosure.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at: https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/general-information/ep-110-sexual-violence-part-2 (https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/general-information/ep-110-sexual-violence-part-2).Did you know?
