Notice Title

Integrated Sexual Health & Contraception Services

Notice Description

The Integrated Sexual Health and Contraception (SHAC) Service will provide patients with open access to confidential, non-judgmental services including sexually transmitted infection (STI) and blood borne virus (BBV) testing, treatment and management, the full range of contraception provision, health promotion and prevention. The service will improve the sexual health of the local population through delivery of a 'one stop shop' model, where the majority of sexual health and contraceptive needs can be met in one place, usually by one professional, during a single visit. Sexual health is not equally distributed across the population and the service will ensure that it meet the needs of those experiencing the greatest impact of STIs, HIV and poor reproductive health as well as removing barriers to access for vulnerable groups and those with protected characteristics. The service must integrate with the NHS commissioned HIV treatment and care service to support the significant interdependencies between the two services. Providers must be experienced, with access to a large pool of NHS qualified medical/nursing staff. Providers must have suitable, accessible building premises in the east, west and central areas of Brighton and Hove.
