I find consults with EUPD patients incredibly draining, had 2 in a row recently where I felt like I wanted to quit GP after …! Conversations are often circular and risk assessing is almost impossible as a lot of them say they don’t know what they might do. Even if they are under the mental health team (albeit they end up being discharged anyway for not engaging) they still make a GP appt about mental health

Does anyone have any tips on how to manage these patients or safely risk assess?

I have been a GP for a few years now and always have trouble finding the cervix for a speculum examination. I did a gum job as a trainee and they had the couches with the stirrups and I always saw the cervix so I’m pretty sure it’s something positional

Does anyone have any tips on how to better see the cervix when using a flat standard GP couch?
