Welcome to the sexual health page.
Here you will find a wide range of learning and assessment on the topic of sexual health. Good sexual health is recognised as an important factor in health and well-being. Increasing rates of sexually transmitted infections means that pharmacy is well placed to offer sexual health services and provide advice, support and treatment to people who may have concerns about their sexual health.
Within the resources you will find an overview of the current commissioning routes of sexual health services, as well as knowledge and behaviour based learning that enables you to support your Declaration of Competence in providing sexual health services.
There is information on sexually transmitted infections, with signposting to CPPE resources and external resources too. We also highlight UK guidelines and framework documents to support your practice via the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV website and the Department of Health information.
Take a look at theLearningpharmacy.com floor on sexual health, where there is learning for the whole pharmacy team to help build the confidence of everyone who speaks with people about their sexual health.
