How does membership work?
- When you buy a membership the FPA will email you a set of "Patient Information Links" customised for your organisation. This includes:
- 1 link to the "Library Page" where you are can access all the guides
- +30 links, i.e. a link to each individual Patient Information guide
- Members can share the Patient Information Links with the patients/pupils of their organisation
- Membership is bought on an organisation-by-organisation basis rather than membership for individual clinicians, teachers, patients or pupils
- Membership lasts for 1 year. After that you can renew your membership. If you prefer not to renew please note that any links shared with patients/pupils will stop working
The "Patient Information Links"
Each link contains a hidden password that gives your patients/pupils access to the guides. This means patients/pupils do not need login details to access the guides.
The links look like this:
- Library page link: https://pi.fpa.org.uk/your-site-library
- Link to a guide e.g. chlamydia https://pi.fpa.org.uk/your-site-sti-chlamydia
Sharing the "Patient Information Links" with Patients and Pupils
All members can share "Patient Information Links" with patients and pupils via:
- Text message
- QR codes - e.g. for posters you create for your clinic or surgery
- Single print-offs e.g. if youโre having a 1-on-1 session with a patient or pupil and they need a printed version. Mass printing and other reproduction is strictly prohibited - if you need a lot of print-offs then note that membership gives you a discount on our booklets.
Important: FPA will give you the links but itโs up to you to create and manage any QR codes. There are a number of third party websites where QR codes can be created for free.
We also do not create individual posters for members or offer text message or email systems.
- Sharing guides via your website? Most members can share "Patient Information Links" by adding the links to their website but this is subject to the Membership terms and conditions. Some larger organisations and commercial organisations will have greater restrictions. See below for more details.
The Library
Below - a screenshot of the library page.
Members get links to each individual guide as well as a link to the library where members, patients and pupils can easily access all guides.
Patients and pupils browse anonymously
- It's important your patients and pupils can browse the guides anonymously
- To read the guides they do not need to create an account with FPA, log in to FPA.org.uk or pass any personal data to FPA
- FPA adds passwords to the links we give you and this gives patients/pupils simple access to the guides without the need for any logins

Important: All guides are provided as general information
All guides are provided as general information and FPA does not offer advice. Patients and pupils should contact their doctor, practice nurse or sexual health clinic if they are worried or unsure about anything.
All guides contain links for where patients and pupils can seek more help on that topic.
Prohibited sharing and reproduction
FPA receives no government or charitable funding. If the Patient Information is shared for free outside of memberships then we cannot afford to keep it up-to-date or create new guides.
The membership is designed so itโs easy for you to share Patient Information with YOUR patients or pupils.
The following is prohibited:
- Adding links to Patient Information on third party websites/platforms
- Sharing links to Patient Information via social media
Tip: If your membership lets you add Patient Information Links to your website and you would like to promote your Patient Information access to patients, please direct social media users to your website.
The following is also prohibited:
- Re-selling, sub-licencing or redistributing the Patient Information or links in any way other than as allowed in the membership terms and conditions
- Copying, plagiarising, printing otherwise reproducing the Patient Information except where you are allowed single print-offs for a patient or pupil
Details of the above restrictions can be read in clause 6 of the membership terms and conditions.
Technical restrictions for some patients/pupils
Remember: Clinicians and teachers are allowed to print off single copies of guides for patients and pupils.
- Parental controls: If patients/pupils have parental controls switched on via their browser, mobile phone or mobile phone provider then the parental controls can block access to the guides. If the parental control is just via WIFI or mobile data provider then some users will be able to get access if they either switch WIFI on or off.
- Old browsers: the FPA platform uses the recommended TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 encryption standard for secure platforms and therefore patients/pupilsย using browsers released before 2014 may not be able to access the FPA platform.
Patient information: current digital guides
Contraception Guides (Digital)
Pregnancy, Birth and Menopause Guides (Digital)
