    Sexual Health Dermatology SIG

    The BASHH Sexual Health Dermatology (SHD) Special Interest Group (SIG) evolved from the Joint Colposcopy and GD group following the BASHH Spring meeting in New York in 2008. It was recognised that colposcopy was declining in genitourinary medicine (GUM) practice, and interest was increasing in the management of genital skin conditions, in which the colposcope could be used as a tool. Use of the colposcope for high-resolution anoscopy saw the colposcopy component being dropped, as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Specialist Group were more appropriately placed to develop its use, but we continue to work closely together. Further development of the BASHH Colposcopy and Genital Dermatology SIG occurred in 2011 with some of the original members continuing in new roles, with new faces providing new impetus and support. The name of the SIG was changed to Genital Dermatology SIG in November 2013.

    The SIG aims to provide continuing medical education and thus improve quality of patient care.

    • To promote and improve education and training of healthcare professionals in all areas related to sexual violence
    • To raise the profile of sexual violence by carrying out research, submitting work for publication and organising training
    • To raise public awareness and improve the care of patients disclosing sexual violence with an interest in issues related to the sexual health of young people.
