The development of an audit tool to understand the provision of women's sexual and reproductive healthcare in general practice

General practice is pivotal in the management of care for patients across the lifespan. General practice represents an ideal setting where opportunistic and planned care about sexual and reproductive health can occur. However, little is known about ways clinicians are currently providing this care and ways the general practice team could be optimised to support women’s sexual and reproductive healthcare. This project will involve a literature review and the development of an audit tool to analyse consultations in women's sexual and reproductive health. Findings will inform current clinician involvement and potential future directions in women’s sexual and reproductive health care. This project sits within SPHERE, an NHMRC funded Centre of Research Excellence in Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women in Primary Care. SPHERE is led by Professor Danielle Mazza and supported by multidisciplinary students and researchers in the Department of General Practice. The successful candidate will have opportunity to be part of this team with support from supervisors.
