NEWS: Call for specialist domestic abuse services

Practices need more support and training to assist with concerns about growing levels of domestic abuse triggered by the pandemic lockdown, senior doctors have warned.

In a joint letter, the heads of several medical royal colleges call for increased access to training for health professionals and their staff. They propose national dedicated funding within the NHS to provide training and other support services. This should include specialist domestic abuse services co-located in GP, acute and mental health services.

Signatories of the letter include Professor Martin Marshall, president of the Royal College of GPs, Dr Edward Morris, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and Professor Wendy Burn, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, along with Professor Andrew Goddard, president of the Royal College of Physicians, and Dr Helena McKeown, from the British Medical Association.
