Swindon Sexual Health Service Consultation Survey
At Swindon Borough Council we are committed to continuously improving our services to better meet the needs of our community. Sexual Health is more than preventing illness, it is also about making sure you feel safe, informed and confident in your body and your relationships. It includes having access to clear information, understanding consent, and feeling supported in a safe and respectful environment.
Swindon Borough Council is undertaking a review of the sexual health clinic services available.
The services currently offered include:
Testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STI)
Reproductive health services and information
HIV testing and partner notification
Sexual health specialist services including young people’s services, outreach and health promotion
These services are currently provided by Great Western Hospital Trust staff at the NHS health centre based in Islington Street, Central Swindon. The contract is due to be renewed, so we are taking the opportunity to review and re-design how sexual health services are delivered across Swindon.
We would like local people who may or may not have used these service, service providers and other professionals to complete this consultation survey. We want to hear your views, as they are important and can influence the future of sexual health services in Swindon.
The first part of this survey is understanding how well the current services meet the needs of people who use them, and those who may use them in future. We are also going to hold workshops with organisations who currently provide sexual health services, to get their views as well as focus groups with service users. After this, the next stage will be to define a new model for delivering sexual health services, and we will be using your feedback to help us to do that. The survey is confidential, and we will keep your answers private. No one will be identified from their answers or in any reports about what people told us.
The consultation will remain open until 11th of July 2025.
Thank you for your participation.
