Recommendation 34

34 Paragraph: 129

GPs struggle to diagnose complex reproductive health conditions due to systemic pressures.

Conclusion
GPs face difficulties diagnosing complicated reproductive healthcare conditions which may present with a variety of symptoms. They face workplace pressures, have short consultation times, and can struggle to access training and guidance. While it is positive to see that medical guidelines and assessments are being updated, further work on professional standards is required if the invalidation that women have reported during this inquiry is to be adequately addressed.
