Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a major public health issue worldwide and one of the top-10 reasons for primary care attendance. AR affects between 10 and 25% of people worldwide, including 10–15% of children and 26% of adults in the United Kingdom. Sneezing, nasal itching, rhinorrhoea, nasal congestion, ocular symptoms (irritation and lacrimation), non-productive cough, Eustachian tube dysfunction and chronic sinusitis are all symptoms of AR. AR can be characterised as seasonal (hay fever), perennial, intermittent, persistent, or occupational, depending on the allergens and the pattern and frequency of symptoms. Asthma and conjunctivitis are significantly associated with AR. A clinical history and physical examination are the most important processes in diagnosis. Skin tests can be used to confirm the diagnosis of AR. Patients with AR may experience changes in their everyday activities, emotions, and sleep habits, to the detriment of quality of life. Early detection and treatment can ameliorate the unpleasant effects of AR. Management includes medication, avoidance of exposure to environmental allergens and when appropriate, measures to help with associated asthma and sinusitis. Psychological interventions can also help in the management of AR.

People with a learning disability (LD) or intellectual disability (ID) may be just as likely to be sexually active as their peers, but are less likely to receive appropriate sexual health education. Unfortunately, this is one of the factors contributing to the higher risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy and sexual abuse amongst people with an LD/ID. A GP can help to advocate for and support patients with an LD/ID to make informed and safe decisions related to their sexuality. This article, based upon a clinical case scenario, highlights the sexual health education needs of people with an LD/ID, as well as issues around STIs, contraception and safeguarding.

Emergency contraception is an intervention aimed to prevent an unplanned or unintended pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or where inadequate contraception has been used. It is only recommended for occasional use, and patients should be advised regarding regular and preferably long-term contraception if suitable. The request for emergency contraception is a frequent presentation in general practice. Around 40% of pregnancies worldwide are estimated to be unplanned, and a significant proportion of unplanned pregnancies result in termination, leading to avoidable distress. Therefore, it is paramount that healthcare professionals understand the available methods of emergency contraception. This article will cover the available methods, looking at their indications, use, efficacy, risks, and benefits.

The role of the health visitor has evolved over time, but their work remains vital to ensuring the health and wellbeing of families with infants and pre-school children. Every child in the United Kingdom should have a health visitor from as early as the antenatal period and have several planned contacts during the first five years of their lives. It is therefore imperative that GPs have a sound understanding of the role and responsibilities of health visitors and how they can work together most effectively. This article will outline the origins of health visiting, the role of health visitors today, and provide an example of how a strong partnership between health visitors and GPs is essential in primary care.

Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease (ESRD) globally. Diabetic kidney disease, previously known as diabetic nephropathy, is a general term used for deterioration of kidney function in patients with diabetes. It is important to diagnose and manage diabetic kidney disease early, so as to reduce the incidence of ESRD and the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. This article looks at the epidemiology, presentation and management of diabetic kidney disease.
