A period of time during which a PATIENT attends a CONSULTANT CLINIC or a NURSE CLINIC for a Genitourinary problem. Each episode will be for one GENITOURINARY EPISODE TYPE. It is therefore possible for a PATIENT to have concurrent GENITOURINARY EPISODES. A PATIENT may also have more than one GENITOURINARY EPISODE for the same GENITOURINARY EPISODE TYPE over time. An episode is terminated either by a PATIENT being formally discharged or not being in face-to-face contact with the service for at least six months.
