Sexually Transmitted Diseases Report Updated, UK
Posted on April 12, 2008
Filed Under sexual life
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) has published its updated 1997
Report of the Working Party on the prevention of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C and sexually
transmitted diseases - a document which examines the place of pharmacists in the fight
against these illnesses1.
Ten years after the original report, the recommendations have been reviewed by members of
the RPSGB/National Treatment Agency (NTA) Substance Misuse Working Group. This
updated version, available on the RPSGB’s website, applies equally to pharmacists and
registered pharmacy technicians and contains additional recommendations relating to the role
of pharmacy staff in public health and the provision of sexual health services.
Sadia Khan, the RPSGB’s Lead Pharmacist for Self-Care, said:
“The recommendations in the 1997 report have been brought up-to-date and take into account
the responsibilities of both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Sexually transmitted
diseases are a major public health issue - the treatment and advice customers receive at their
community pharmacy plays an important role in the management of these conditions and the
quality of their lives.”
In addition to the updated report, the RPSGB/NTA Memorandum of Understanding is available
to download from the RPSGB’s website, http://www.rpsgb.org.
Notes
The original 1997 Report of the Working Party on the prevention of HIV / AIDS,
hepatitis B and C and sexually transmitted diseases was published in The
Pharmaceutical Journal 2007: 258: 13-16 (January 4)
