Annual Scientific Meeting 2025: Speaker Recordings
Venue: Park Regis Hotel, Birmingham
'Up Close and Personal
Integrating Psychosexual Medicine into Routine Consultations and Tailored Treatment Approaches'
What happens during the consultation? This intimate connection with a patient can be a powerful and empowering step toward restoring sexual function. We’ll discuss how IPM skills can enhance typical clinical practice and explore how alternative therapies can serve as complementary or standalone approaches. Join us to learn from expert speakers, share experiences, and discuss your own cases in our supervised seminar groups.
