Sexual health in the UK

The UK’s sexual health is the worst in Western Europe. In the last five years, the UK has seen a significant increase in the numbers of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with chlamydia remaining the most common.

The Department of Health has prioritised sexual health and charges PCTs with increasing chlamydia screening, reducing the rates of gonorrhoea, and reaching a 48 hour waiting access target for GUM and sexual health services.

They are ambitious targets that can be best achieved by working imaginatively and with commitment at a local level. Developing health campaigns is time consuming and can be expensive. Terrence Higgins Trust has over 20 years’ experience of developing effective,
award-winning health campaigns, and is proud to launch its latest sexual health campaign Get it checked. Get it treated.

This campaign is now available to support PCTs to reach these Government targets.
