Sexually transmitted infections: condom distribution schemes

Recommendation ID: NG68/5
Question: Can GP practices deliver effective and cost effective condom schemes to reduce STIs?: -Can condom schemes be effective and cost effective in GP practices to reduce STIs? Can they be delivered in ways that are acceptable to GPs and other practice staff? In addition, how can the impact of such schemes be maximised?
Any explanatory notes (if applicable): Why this is important: - Many GPs are interested in delivering condom schemes, and this could have a number of benefits. For example, the UK network of GP practices could improve delivery in rural areas and to other populations with poor access to services or who do not use existing services. Conversely, some people might be reluctant to get free condoms from their local GP.
