Sexual Health in Practice (SHIP) training has been shown to change clinical practice and improve sexual health outcomes for patients. The sessions are designed and taught by GPs and practice nurses, who understand the complexities, challenges and pragmatic approach of general practice. The content is based on the latest available evidence and is tailored for the GP setting. 

The SHIP team will help you become confident in sexual health risk assessment and make meaningful changes to your clinical practice.

• update on STIs and testing in primary care, including which swabs to use and when
• when to and how to bring up sexual health in GP consultations
• rapid sexual health risk assessment tailored for the GP consultation
• management of STIs in the GP setting, including partner notification guidance
