Competencies for providing more specialised sexually transmitted infection services within Primary Care
Two complimentary documents have been produced:
- Competencies paper (Sept 2005)
This paper sets out the range of competencies in skills, knowledge and attitudes required to deliver more specialised sexual health services for managing sexually transmitted infection within primary care. These competencies are transferable to any primary care setting to improve quality in managing STIs.
- Assessment Toolkit (Sept 2006)
This is a toolkit for assessing the range of competencies in skills, knowledge and attitudes required to manage sexually transmitted infections (STIs), when delivering more specialised sexual health services within primary care. The toolkit is transferable to any primary care setting and supports quality improvement in managing STIs. PCTs commissioning STI services from primary care providers might wish to use this toolkit to ensure clinicians have the relevant skills and competence to deliver the service. Clinicians should ensure they are skilled and competent in the key areas mentioned. The toolkit can also be used as a guide for audit and appraisals.
Guidelines for managing STIs in General Practice (March 2006)
These guidelines were written on behalf of BASHH and the RCGP.
Primary
Care Testing Guidelines (December 2004):
These testing guidelines are out for consultation until 28th February
2005. Constructive feedback welcome. There will be some modified
guidelines for primary care based on BASHH CEG guidelines to give
further information about organisms and diseases to complement
this brief testing guide.
The BASHH CEG guidelines which provide more evidence based guidance
on management and are available here
on this website.
