During May 2020 Clinical Knowledge Summaries were published or updated in the following areas.

• Corticosteroids - oral
• Hepatitis C
• Pityriasis versicolor
• Sprains and strains

All of the topics have been reviewed and undergone minor restructuring. The Sprains and strains topic has been restructured and recommendations have been updated in line with current evidence; the prognosis and complications section has been split and the referral and prescribing sections have been moved into the Management section.

Action: Clinicians who see patients with any of these conditions may find the new and updated information useful when reviewing current clinical practice.
