During October 2023 Clinical Knowledge Summaries were published or updated in the following areas.

• Diarrhoea - prevention and advice for travellers
• Faltering growth
• Neck pain - acute torticollis
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Sarcoidosis
• Seborrhoeic dermatitis

The Sarcoidosis topic is new. The other topics have all been reviewed and updated with minor structural and layout changes. The Neck pain - acute torticollis topic contains a new short section detailing some complications which can arise in people with acute torticollis. The Pelvic inflammatory disease topic has been updated in line with current evidence and information on the antibiotic levofloxacin has been added to the Prescribing information section.

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