Supporting the sexual wellbeing of older adults - with Sharon Hinchliff and Rebecca Mawson
Talking about sexual health may be common-place with younger patients, but the sexual wellbeing of older adults is often neglected in a consultation. However it's important for doctors to be aware of changes to patients sex lives, given the link between intimacy and wellbeing.
In this podcast, the team discuss how to create that culture of openness that encourages older adults to share problems they may find embarrassing, what signs may indicate that it's worth initiating a question about sexual health, and making sexual function a routine part of the discussion about the effects of medication.
Our guests;
Sharon Hinchliff is a professor of psychology and health at the University of Sheffield.Rebecca Mawson is a GP in Sheffield.
