In 2016, approximately 200,000 Australian adults reported being sexually assaulted in the 12 month period. Of the approximate fifty percent of women who sought advice or support following sexual assault, four in ten did so from a general practitioner (GP) or other health care provider.GPs are well placed to identify, support, treat and refer victims of sexual violence. This unit will provide practitioners with an understanding of how to recognise, respond to and refer patients who are victims of sexual violence, including disclosures of sexual violence; ethical, medical and forensic considerations; and immediate and long-term referrals to assist in recovery. Core to this content is an exploration of key communication skills, trauma-informed and patient-centred responses. This unit references the World Health Organizations LIVES Framework for responding to and caring for individuals subject to sexual violence. This unit is focused on the patient consultation.

An unknown, but likely growing number of Australian men are using finasteride to treat androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss), many through online prescribing services.Known side effects of finasteride include loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, gynaecomastia, fatigue, low mood, cognitive impairment, and suicidal ideation/behaviour. In a subset of users, symptoms persist after drug cessation.Concern about finasteride's adverse effects has prompted mandatory patient warnings in many jurisdictions (including Australia) and tightening of regulations (eg, France).General practitioners need to counsel patients about the effects of finasteride, identifying adverse consequences of its use, and provide appropriate management of symptoms of post-finasteride syndrome (PFS), in the absence of evidence-based clinical guidelines.
