Sexually Transmissible Infections - Overview course for GPs

This session will update the learner on sexually transmitted infections: the most common and the most clinically significant.

This session was reviewed by Philippa Matthews and Mel Gardner and last updated in November 2020.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Identify which infections are sexually transmissible, and which are not
• Explain which STIs have the biggest impact on health in the UK and why
• Describe the impact of STIs on people’s lives
• Recognise how STIs present in a general practice setting

In this session we aim to help the learner to form clear distinctions between the different STIs, and their individual consequences to health, and the health of the population.
