Abstract
Integrated sexual health and family planning services can be provided within primary care with only minor modifications to service configuration. However, only a very small percentage of general practices currently offer an enhanced sexual health service. Most GUM clinics do not provide contraceptive services and contraceptive services do not provide comprehensive STI diagnosis and management. General practices are uniquely placed to offer an effective integrated service and reduce the pressure on sexual health clinics. Funding this service in primary care offers a good and accessible service to patients and a considerable saving for commissioners. In this article, we provide practical suggestions on offering an enhanced sexual health service as informed by our experience in setting up this service at the James Wigg Practice, a large GP practice in Camden, London.
