Domestic violence (DV) is prevalent in the UK. There are no national recommendations for assessment of DV in genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics. Bournemouth GU medicine clinic has a referral pathway for victims of DV. A postal questionnaire survey was carried out to determine whether GU medicine clinics across England and Wales had local policies in place to assess DV and also to establish their views on routine assessment of DV within GU medicine. The response rate was 53%. Most clinics had access to patient literature. Only 20% of the clinics had a policy in place to assist victims of DV. Although over 50% agreed that routine assessment for DV should happen in GU medicine clinics, only 11% clinics routinely asked about DV.
家庭暴力在英国很普遍。在泌尿生殖医学诊所中，对于家庭暴力的评估没有全国性的建议。伯恩茅斯泌尿生殖医学诊所为家庭暴力受害者设有转诊途径。开展了一项邮寄问卷调查，以确定英格兰和威尔士各地的泌尿生殖医学诊所是否有评估家庭暴力的地方政策，并了解他们对泌尿生殖医学中家庭暴力常规评估的看法。回复率为53%。大多数诊所都有患者宣传资料。只有20%的诊所制定了帮助家庭暴力受害者的政策。尽管超过50%的人同意泌尿生殖医学诊所应该对家庭暴力进行常规评估，但只有11%的诊所会常规询问家庭暴力情况。
