BASHH STI-HIV Theory Modules

The BASHH STI-HIV Theory modules run across two weeks in the months leading up to the Society of Apothecaries Dip GUM examination. The BASHH Theory modules act as a revision programme for those taking the Dip GUM exam and as an advanced level theory course for those wanting to build their knowledge without taking the examination.

All modules run virtually using Zoom with well renown speakers from all over the UK. The course has been designed to cover the wider GU SpR curriculum with mapping of both the programme and e-lfh modules to this full curriculum. It may therefore also be suitable for other trainees such as RSH trainees or other senior healthcare professionals who wish to further their professional development. It is modular, enabling applicants to attend some, or all of the modules.  The training weeks are usually a couple of months apart. Links to the next available dates are below.
