Pharmacists' role, beliefs and attitudes to contraception in West Africa
Photodiagnosis of genital herpes and warts
Online sexual health services potentially transform modes of engagement with service users. We report findings from an in-depth interview study with users of a photo-diagnosis service offered by an established UK-based online sexual health service (SH:24). Adopting a sociomaterial theoretical perspective, we analyse the interviews for descriptions of health care with and through the affordances offered by SH:24. We focus on how the interactions o…

“Putting people in charge of their own health and care?” Using meta‐narrative review and the example of online sexual health services to re‐think relationships between e‐health and agency
Learning from Somaliland? Transferability of learning from volunteering to national health service practice in the UK
BACKGROUND: Capacity building partnerships between healthcare institutions have the potential to benefit both partners particularly in staff development. Previous research suggests that volunteering can contribute to professional development but there is little evidence on how learning is acquired, the barriers and facilitators to learning in this context or the process of translation of learning to the home environment. RESULTS: Volunteers from …
Towards a simple typology of international health partnerships
BACKGROUND: International health partnerships are one approach to capacity building in health systems. The evidence base for institutional partnerships for health service development remains weak and evaluation of the process and outcomes of health partnerships is a priority. The variability of partnerships contributes to the challenge of understanding their effectiveness and a typology of partnerships could aid evaluation. We analysed the propos…
Do health partnerships with organisations in lower income countries benefit the UK partner? A review of the literature
BACKGROUND: Health partnerships between institutions in the UK and Low or Lower- middle Income Countries are an increasingly important model of development, yet analysis of partnerships has focused on benefits and costs to the Low and Lower- Middle Income partner. We reviewed the evidence on benefits and costs of health partnerships to UK individuals, institutions & the NHS and sought to understand how volunteering within partnerships might impac…
Using educational outreach and a financial incentive to increase general practices’ contribution to chlamydia screening in South-East London 2003–2011
General practices can be important potential providers of chlamydia tests.With a combination of sustained support, financial incentives and feedback on performance, general practice may be able to test a large percentage of 15-24 year olds. General practice is also a potentially important provider of chlamydia tests to young men
Chlamydia screening in England
A combination of explicit and implicit drivers underpinned the Programme's establishment. This combination may explain why there was widespread support for its introduction and why implementation of the NCSP was inconsistent. The potential to improve young people's sexual health more comprehensively should be made explicit in future planning of the NCSP
Internet testing for Chlamydia trachomatisin England, 2006 to 2010
Internet testing reaches a population with a relatively high risk of chlamydia infection and appears acceptable to young men, a group that has been difficult to engage with chlamydia testing. In order to maximise the potential benefit of these services, websites should be consistent with national guidelines and adhere to minimum standards for signposting to clinical care and health promotion information. The current system with multiple providers…
Look who’s taking notes in your clinic
Objectives To test the feasibility of professional patients as a tool for sexual health service evaluation. Professional patients are paid to use services specifically for audit or evaluation purposes without disclosing their identity as evaluators. Methods Professional patients visited five large sexual health departments used by 3000 clients per week in two inner London Boroughs with very high rates of sexual ill health. They recorded their exp…
Developing Relationships Between Sexual Health Clinics and Schools
Linking schools with sexual health clinics facilitates clinic access by young people. This paper documents the process of developing one such link and its impact on clinic use. Multiple data collection strategies were used to document a developing school/clinic relationship and constant comparative analysis was used to develop hypotheses from the data as follows: ” A few teachers have a good knowledge of local sexual health services and extensive…
Family planning and sexual health
This study enabled South Asian women living in Glasgow to discuss the constraints on their use of family planning services. Semi‐structured interviews were completed with 20 South Asian women. The results show that only a minority of women experience linguistic barriers to contraceptive service use. The South Asian visitors to the clinic who were interviewed identified few barriers to their own service use but described other groups of South Asia…
