The current model of sexual health services commissioned within Derbyshire is delivered by a number of different providers, with Genitourinary medicine (GUM) commissioned and provided separately to Contraception and Sexual Health (CASH) services. Whilst the services have responded to changes in need and the challenges of the previous national strategy for sexual health, there remains significant potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services in meeting the needs of the population.
Derbyshire County Council is commissioning an ‘Integrated Sexual Health Service' (ISHS) which will enable more strategic planning of locations and accessibility of services for Derbyshire residents.
The service will deliver open access, good-quality, patient centred, responsive, cost-effective, and confidential sexual health services to improve sexual health and reduce sexual health inequalities across the population of Derbyshire.
The service will commence April 2015 and will deliver a managed sexual health service based on a Primary Contractor model and aims to reduce sexual health inequalities by providing an equitable service to Derbyshire residents facilitating prompt access in line with clinical need.
