Reproductive coercion and narrative medicine with Annabel Sowemimo and John Launer

Reproductive coercion may feel like something that we don’t see very often in general practice, but a 2022 poll carried out for BBC Radio 4 of 1,060 UK women between the ages of 18 and 44 found that half of them had experienced some form of reproductive coercion. This week, we speak to returning guest Annabel Sowemimo about the various forms that reproductive coercion can take, and who might be at risk of experiencing it. We discuss how we, as GPs, can identify these patients, and, once we’ve done so, how we might be able to help them. Later on, we talk to our BMJ columnist, John Launer, about how narrative medicine approaches can help to reach a better & more satisfying resolution to a consultation “puzzle” for you and for the patient. Our guests: Annabel Sowemimo is a community sexual health registrar, based in Leicester. She is also a PhD candidate at King’s College London, and is the co-founder of the charity Reproductive Justice Initiative. John Launer is a GP educator, working for Health Education England. He is also a freelance educator and writer, as well as being a columnist for ‘The BMJ’. Further reading: ‘How to recognise and respond to reproductive coercion’.
