This practical education activity will equip GPs with the confidence to proactively identify pelvic floor conditions, initiate evidence-based first-line management, and effectively coordinate multidisciplinary care with physiotherapists, continence nurses, and specialists. By enhancing knowledge of assessment, conservative treatment options, and referral pathways, participants will be better positioned to improve patient outcomes, reduce symptom burden, and provide holistic, patient-centred women's health care in everyday practice.\n\nThis activity is approved by the RACGP for the following CPD hours\nEA: 2\nRP: 3\nMO: 5\n\n# Learning Outcomes\n1. Perform a structured assessment of women presenting with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms.\n2. Apply evidence-based conservative management strategies for pelvic floor dysfunction in primary care.\n3.
