Coventry and Warwickshire

Outreach services

Our Clinical Outreach service aims to provide a clinical service within a community setting. This helps us to improve access to sexual health advice and information for those within the Coventry and Warwickshire area, for both patients and professionals. We are focused on identifying and working with groups that are marginalised or those hardly reached by our core service:

• Young people

• Black and minority ethnic groups

• Substance misuse users

• People working in the sex industry

• Asylum seekers and refugees

• Groups living with disability

• Women's health

• LGBTQIA+

For patients we provide:

• Signposting

• Appointment booking

• STI and HIV testing

• Community information event stalls

• 1:1 visits on referral

• Dedicated drop in sessions on location

Part of our Outreach is delivered by BHA For Equality.

It aims to provide quick and confidential access to condoms, supported by evidence based, accurate contraceptive and sexual health information, and sign posting to comprehensive sexual health services.

We accept referrals for assessment for complex LARC, or routine LARC where individuals are required to be on a consistent method of contraception due to certain medications. We are unable to accept referrals for IUS insertion for endometrial protection and heavy menstrual bleeding only unless contraception is required.
