Description

Following implementation of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the Council assumed responsibility for a range of Public Health functions including a legal mandate to provide access to a range of sexual health and contraceptive services including:- • Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) services enabling open access to testing and treatment for HIV and other STIs. • Sexual and Reproductive Health Services providing information and access to a full range of contraceptive methods. The Council procured an Integrated Sexual Health Service providing Level 1, 2 and 3 services to complement existing Level 1 and 2 services commissioned from General Practice and Community Pharmacy providers. Key priorities of the Integrated Sexual Health Service are:- • Accessible integrated provision to ensure that the majority of sexual health and contraception needs can be met within a single consultation. • Improved information about sexual health and sexual health services in order to raise awareness, promote self-management and support appropriate referral and signposting. • Targeted activity to improve accessibility and engagement for at risk groups, including young people, black and minority ethnic groups (BME), and men who have sex with men (MSM). • Improved Chlamydia screening and STI testing to reduce late diagnosis, particularly HIV. • Provision of clinical leadership to General Practices and Community Pharmacies commissioned by the Council to provide level 1 and 2 sexual health services in the county. • Development of educational and research opportunities to increase workforce expertise, support staff retention and build sexual health capacity in the local NHS and partner organisations
