Sexual Health Services in Worcestershire
On 1st July 2012 responsibility for commissioning Worcestershire
Specialist Sexual Health Services transferred to the Joint
Commissioning Unit (JCU) of Worcestershire County Council from the
Public Health Team of NHS Worcestershire.
Sexual Health Needs Assessment
Since July, the JCU, together with the Public Health, worked
with the Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust and other
providers of services to carry out a sexual health needs assessment
(SHNA) as the first stage in a review of the strategic
commissioning of sexual health services in Worcestershire. This
included a consultation with service users and members of the
public.
The sexual health services reviewed included:
- Specialist Sexual Health Services provided by Worcestershire
Health and Care Trust:
- Contraception and reproductive health care services, including
outreach
- Genito-urinary Medicine (GUM) services
- Time 4U services delivered at Level 2
- Vasectomy services
- Sexual health and psychosexual counselling
- Prisons service
- Sexual health education and promotion
- Chlamydia screening
- Early Medical Termination (EMT) service
- Pregnancy assessment and support service
- Time 4U services delivered at Level 1 by school health
nursing
- C-Card scheme

An
Assessment of Sexual Health Needs in the Worcestershire Population
(PDF 1.2 MB) was published in March 2013 which includes
recommendations for service improvement. Commissioners
are now working with the providers to implement these
recommendations.
