ABSTRACT
A regional audit was undertaken to evaluate current practice in the management of survivors of sexual assault (SA) seen in genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics in the North Thames. The majority of the survivors were women. Most were fast-tracked, or seen in dedicated SA clinics. Over 60% of staff had specific training in management of SA. Core services provided included screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, emotional support, emergency contraception and hepatitis B vaccination. The sexual health needs of these survivors of SA are being met by most clinics. The development and use of a standardized care proforma across the region may be a means to further improve the care provided.
