Integrated Sexual Health Service

The Tees Sexual Health Collaborative commissions a comprehensive, integrated open access sexual health service that includes free Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) testing and treatment, notification of sexual partners of infected persons and free provision of contraception. The majority of sexual health service elements are a statutory responsibility of the local authority. This integrated service also delivers some of the specialised services commissioned by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) such as vasectomy services, and at the national level by NHS England & Improvement (NHSE&I), such as cervical screening. Our collaborative consists of Hartlepool Borough Council; Middlesbrough Borough Council; Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council and Stockton on Tees Borough Council alongside NHS Tees Valley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS England and NHS Improvement North East and Yorkshire.
