However, the restructuring of sexual health services will move testing and treatment ofuncomplicated STIs (Level 1 and 2 services) from GUM services in a single hospital site to a mixture of patientself-managed testing and multiple sexual health clinics with extended opening hours and convenient transportlinks located across the borough.
The GUM will be a Level 3 service available by referral only from General Practice, CASH and GSH clinicsin Greenwich (which offer level 1 and level 2 GUM services as well as contraceptive services), or from theGreenwich Sexual Health Office following home testing. The service will support patients with STIs and otherconditions requiring more complicated testing, diagnosis and treatment provided in a GUM setting.
