Provision of External Online Sexual Health Screening Services

The service is an online testing platform via (SH.UK & Freetest.me which offers fully integrated self-sampling online sexual health service that allows service users to provide their own clinical support and remote screening for STI's) with good level of embedded local clinical support, including direct links into Trust system and pathways. It is hoped that an online service with postal testing and clinic in a box will: * Enable asymptomatic service-users and those with mild symptoms to obtain timely and convenient STI screening without having to contact the clinic. * Be used in conjunction with telephone triage and virtual consultations to streamline low risk asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic individuals so experienced clinicians see the symptomatic, high risk and vulnerable service-users face to face. * Facilitate access to STI screening and treatment for those who find it difficult to attend sexual health services. The kit requesting system should have a two-step verification process to verify real and unique users. The following are covered; * A postal STI screening service. * An online platform integrated with Trust websites, with clinical triage, safeguarding, and eligibility filtering. * Laboratory analysis through a UKAS-accredited facility, with rapid turnaround and secure communication of results.
