“…The paper concluded that there is no uniform provision of GD across the UK and that training amongst GUM clinicians varied. 1 A further review of a London sexual health service dermatologist-led GD clinic showed that referring clinicians were not always able to make accurate diagnoses, with 36% diagnoses made by referring clinicians matching that of the dermatologist. 2…”

Survey of genitourinary medicine specialist registrars in the United Kingdom regarding genital dermatology training

2015

The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV Genital Dermatology Special Interest Group (SIG) conducted a survey of specialist registrar training in genital dermatology (GD) to inform future training provision provided by the group and other services. The survey shows that training in GD is variable with most trainees receiving GD training through formal lectures or ad hoc clinical teaching, with fewer trainees having access to specialist GD clinics. There is mixed confidence in diagnosis and use of topical steroids, and few trainees are independent in GD practical procedures. Many trainees feel training could be improved with requests for a formalised attachment, formal qualification and greater training in practical procedures. The GD SIG, in liaison with British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH), aims to optimise GD training for registrars. Plans for improved resources are in progress, including a practical skills course and e-learning. It is hoped this survey will also inform GD training at both local and national levels.

“…The group (in association with the British Co-operative Clinical group-BCCG) initially coordinated the survey on management of GD patients in sexual health departments in 2009 to gather information on case load, type of GD cases seen, management pathways and provision of biopsies in sexual health clinics in the UK 2. The need for training in GD was identified and paved the way for the much-acclaimed BASHH GD course in 2011.…”
