Everyday general practice can benefit from integrating understanding of and care for trauma into whole person care. This facilitates new understandings of how lived experience, relationships, culture and context affect complex physiology, disease formation and overall health.

Coercive control is a pattern of behaviour that occurs in relationships and families that is enabled by broader coercive control systems in the community. General practitioners, skilled at pattern recognition, can contribute to systems-wide identification of coercive control across the lifespan.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a common health issue, and members of families affected by violence frequently present to primary care. There are, however, barriers to general practitioners (GPs) identifying survivors, their children and those who use IPV.

Coercive control by intimate partners is a major public health issue, negatively impacting women's health. Healthcare practitioners have a crucial role in responding yet often lack confidence to provide support.

Intimate partner violence (IPV), particularly coercive control by a partner, is prevalent in Australia as well as worldwide, and survivors present commonly with a range of symptoms to general practitioners (GPs). It is recommended for GPs to take a case-finding approach to identify survivors of IPV and it is important for GPs to know how to appropriately respond to disclosures.

Research indicates that education on sun protection and proper sunscreen application is insufficient, leading to widespread under-application of sunscreen. This lack of adherence to recommended practices increases the risk of skin cancers, photoageing and exacerbates conditions like melasma and lupus.

As there is a large body of evidence confirming its accuracy, human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection has been introduced to the Australian National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP). Self-collection also offers an opportunity to engage under-screened (including never‑screened) individuals. Under-screening remains a significant risk factor for cervical cancer, with over 70% of Australian cases involving individuals who are under‑screened or have never been screened.

Evidence-based prescribing for heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) can improve quality of life, iron deficiency and anaemia. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is more effective than oral hormonal medications (OHMs). This study aimed to establish temporal trends (2010-23) in TXA prescribing for HMB by Australian general practice registrars.

Australians are living and continuing to drive while older because of improved medical care. Queensland drivers aged over 75 years submit to annual mandatory medical examinations, which is often stressful for both general practitioner (GP) and patient. Driving cessation has negative health outcomes, yet impaired driving is dangerous. This study's aim was to elucidate factors that could lead to a more standardised, fair mandatory assessment.

At the frontline of the healthcare system, general practitioners (GPs) regularly see the health consequences of traumatic life experiences, yet their perspectives on what constitutes trauma-informed primary care are not well understood. This qualitative study sought to explore Australian GPs' perspectives on trauma‑informed care.

Fractures account for approximately 1% of patient presentations in general practice. Uncomplicated, low-risk fractures rarely require orthopaedic intervention and can be treated exclusively in primary care by the general practitioner (GPs).

A previous article presented stories of registrars' journeys through early general practice training. This paper aims to explore in detail two registrars' stories using the lenses of transformative learning theory and threshold concept theory to seek fresh insights into becoming a general practitioner.
