Human Papilloma infections prevention. The european Joint Action partnERschip to contrast HPV (PERCH) and e-lerning for the health professionals – Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (in both sexes). Vaccines against HPV have been available since 2006 and although they have been progressively introduced in many National Immunization Plan (NIP), coverages achieved are still sub-optimal both in Europe and globally. The Joint Action (JA) “PartnERship to Contrast HPV” (PERCH) (coordinated by the National Institute of Health in Italy, ISS) aims to increase HPV vaccination coverage in European member states in order to reduce cases of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers in the population. As part of the PERCH project, an e-learning training course has been promoted for healthcare professionals working in the HPV prevention and treatment fields also supporting difficult social situations. The ECM accredited course is accessible on the ISS EDUISS platform (https://www.eduiss.it).
