Tips and tricks to encourage sexual health testing in your practice

On-demand recorded 4 Mar 2024

We all know time is a barrier to offering sexual health tests in a busy GP setting. This webinar helps to share some ‘tips and tricks’ from GPs who conduct a lot of sexual health checks to help save you time. Whether you are a sexual health champion, or don’t test very often, you’ll learn how to offer comprehensive sexual health screening when appropriate and routinise and embed STI and HIV care in everyday workflows using practice management software. This will help to streamline your workflow, improve clinical decision making and improve the consistency of high quality of care available to patients accessing General Practice.

Learning outcomes

  1. Increase GP confidence in offering and responding to requests for sexual health testing.
  2. Describe ‘guideline based testing’ and the advantages of utilising in practice.
  3. Identify and discuss strategies to reduce perceptions of stigma and encourage patients to feel comfortable when testing
