In addition, it will deliver the following outcomes to improve the sexual health in the local population as a whole: a culture within the Service and the wider sexual health infrastructure that prioritises prevention and supports behaviour change, clear accessible and up to date information about services providing contraception and sexual health for the whole population including information targeted at those at highest risk of sexual ill health, improved access to services among those at highest risk of sexual ill health, reduced sexual health inequalities amongst young people and young adults, reduced sexual health inequalities amongst black and minority ethnic (BME) groups, increased uptake of effective methods of contraception, including rapid access to the full range of contraceptive methods including Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC ) for all age groups, a reduction in unwanted pregnancies in all ages as evidenced by teenage conception and abortion rates, increased diagnosis and effective management of STIs, increased uptake of HIV testing with particular emphasis on first time Service Users and repeat testing of those that remain at risk, clear pathways to other relevant services including HIV treatment services; and increased development of evidence-based practice. The Provider will have a strong, strategic management structure in place that will lead the service in making prevention central to the Service and in delivering effective and appropriately targeted services across Kirklees.
