In Australia, 40% of pregnancies are unintended. Uptake of reliable and cost-effective long-acting reversible contraception, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants, is lower in Australia compared to similarly developed countries, and early medical abortion can be difficult to access. Many factors impact uptake of or access to these services, including access to primary health care service providers who provide these services.In this podcast we discuss the use of new teaching resources on contraceptive options, long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and early medical abortion (EMA) to support teaching and implementation of best practice care.AusCAPPSGPSA Teaching Plans

The use of video-recorded consultations in general practice training is a highly valuable educational tool. By reviewing their real-life consultations, registrars can engage in reflective practice and genuinely self-assess their consultation, communication and reasoning skills. Furthermore, video-recorded consultations enable supervisors and educators to assess registrar performance with a level of detail that is not possible through traditional observation. This can result in more focused feedback and a deeper understanding of areas needing improvement.This podcast discusses the medico-legal considerations, including patient consent, data protection, and confidentiality.

Investigations play a critical role in the diagnosis, monitoring and screening for disease in general practice. And the use of such tests is increasing both in Australia and internationally. While some of this increase is appropriate, a growing body of evidence suggests that non-rational testing is a significant problem. This is costly and problematic for GPs but also poses significant harm to patients.Registrars, especially those new to general practice, are at particular risk of non-rational test ordering. Supervisors can play a key role is supporting this critical aspect of practice. A number of strategies have been described for the most effective and appropriate use of tests in the general practice setting.
