| Popis: | Summary: In 2004, the management of under-16-year olds in UK genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics was surveyed. Questionnaires were sent to 185 lead GU medicine consultants. A total of 111 questionnaires were returned (60%). Ninety-eight percent of respondents managed young people aged 13-16. Fifty percent managed under 13-year-olds. Twenty-nine percent of respondents ran dedicated young people's clinics. Ninety-eight percent were aware of the National Guidelines, and 74%had adopted them. Fifty-seven percent had a named departmental child protection lead. Thirty-seven percent of consultants had received training specific to child protection issues in GU medicine. Improvements had been made since a similar survey published in 2001, but the need for further training was still apparent. |
