Background We have previously presented our review of routine enquiry (RE) for IPV in a genitourinary medicine (GUM) service. On-going integration with contraception services (CASH) combined with a new electronic patient record (EPR) in 2013 has prompted further review across the whole service (comprising 13 community clinics and the level 3 GUM service).

Aim Have these service changes impacted on our recommendation that RE is undertaken for all new patients? In addition, how many cases of IPV are we identifying?

Methods All new or rebook patients attending between 01/05 and 30/11/2014 where RE was documented were reviewed. Results: There were 17878 attendances (12316 new; 8724 female, 3590 male). The results are summarised below.

58% of those identified with current issues of IPV had attended the level 3 GUM service. In the majority, support was already in place. 567 had documentation of past issues of IPV, of which 58 had on-going needs identified. Experiences included child sexual abuse, stalking and social media harassment.

Discussion Routine enquiry for IPV is feasible across an integrated service and identifies a range of issues. The proportion screened appears stable (71% in 2013 and 70% in 2014). The scale of the problem in our population is alarming and highlights the need for adequate staff training and clear referral pathways.
