Welcome to the fifth episode of the new Sydney Sexual Health Centre podcast! In this episode, we're talking about sexual health in the general practice setting. Most Australians get their sexual health information and care from their regular GP, so this is an important area of focus for improving the sexual health of the community. We talk to Alisa Pollack, who is a GP as well as one of our own registrars at Sydney Sexual Health Centre. We also talk to Phil Taylor from the NSW STI Programs Unit.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the new Sydney Sexual Health Centre podcast! This episode ties into Dental Health Week, which is held in the first full week of August every year.

We talk to Priyadi Prihaswan from South Eastern Sydney Local Health District's HIV and Related Programs team, as well as Dr Helen Carey from Sydney Dental Hospital.
