Abstract

The role of healthcare support workers (HCSWs) in sexual health is as invaluable tools of the trade in providing and developing flexible, client-focused frontline services ( Meek et al, 2014 ). Long client waits within a central Glasgow clinic setting have emphasised the need for change and provided a platform for extending the options available for clients. This article highlights the extended roles of HCSWs in provision of client-centred care within integrated sexual and reproductive health services in Glasgow. This service provision is underpinned by a defined protocol, incorporating inclusion criteria for asymptomatic screening, which allows a low-risk, self-selection process for the client, deeming them eligible to be seen within a test-only clinic (TOC).
