During August 2022 Clinical Knowledge Summaries were published or updated in the following areas.

• Gonorrhoea
• Hypertension
• Integrated health and social care for people experiencing homelessness
• Melanoma
• Multiple sclerosis

The Integrated health and social care for people experiencing homelessness topic is new. All of the other topics have been reviewed and updated with minor structural and layout changes. The recommendations on non-melanoma lesions have been removed from the Melanoma topic. The Hypertension topic has been updated to be fully in line with the NICE guideline Hypertension in adults: diagnosis and management, and includes recommendations for adults with type 2 diabetes.

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