20 – Nurturing the growth of a new field of research in domestic violence
Explore how NIHR SPCR is nurturing a new field of domestic violence research, supporting evidence-based approaches to improve care and safety in primary care settings.
The SPCR’s support has helped researchers to expand on a successful approach for improving the healthcare response to patients affected by domestic violence. This underpinning has helped to identify further ways that primary care can better address this pervasive violation of human rights that damages health and wellbeing.
As a GP in London in the early 2000s, Gene Feder, now a professor of primary care at the University of Bristol, identified a lack of training for GPs to identify patients affected by domestic violence and refer them to appropriate care.
