The course may be organised by another individual (course organiser) who does not have to be a Consultant in Sexual Health Medicine but there must be a named Consultant (See above) as course director who is responsible for ensuring that the course fully complies with all regulations. Where the regulations are not met, the STI Foundation Steering Group may retrospectively withdraw course approval. Courses may be visited to ensure quality assurance.
