GPs are in the number one spot!

GPs love to tell colleagues about training opportunities - but only if they're worth doing of course!

Our courses on Persistent Pelvic Pain, Perimenopause/Menopause and Pelvic Organ Prolapse are getting out to our GPs across Australia as the word spreads. A GP who recently completed the 'on job' part of the perisistent pelvic pain course reported, "Patients have expressed feeling validated regarding their histories and symptoms, and feeling positive about the way forward. I now feel that both the patient, and myself as the GP, are on the same page with clarity regarding their management goals and individual wishes for care." RACGP and ACRRM, the professional colleges for GPs want to provide practical and relevant learning opportunitues which can be implemented the next day in practice. Vagenius courses are accredited which means they count as professional development for a GP.

This GP completed the Vagenius online learning first to get all the latest evidence and knowledge about management and treatments relevant to GP pracitce.

"A GP is an expert in their field. They update their professional skills and knowledge constantly." Says Colette McKiernan, Learning and Development Lead for Vagenius Training. "To embed some of the eLearning on our courses, the GP can choose to try things out with their patients, for example, they can make a whole self care plan using a practical resource tool developed and trialed by our specialist GP Dr Emily Ware."

If 91% of 13,000 respondents to Victoria's Inquiry into Women's Pain, reported that the GP is their first, and sometimes only, point of contact and GPs are ready to learn it's a good match to study women's pelvic health more deeply.
