Screening near you

Staying with the sexual health theme, we received the latest figures from the regional Chlamydia screening programme today.

The stats show who provided Chlamydia testing kits, broken down into locality and service provider.

In every locality the highest number of testing kits were given out not by healthcare providers but by colleges, universities, prisons and army barracks.

However it’s great to see that community pharmacy is playing an active role in this service, particularly with public health so high on the government’s agenda.
