reproductive health and to influence others to provide positive, open
access approaches to health and well-being for all.
Sandyford delivers an integrated range of services based around
Genitourinary Medicine and Sexual and Reproductive Health. There
are also services targeted at population groups including The Place (for
young people), Steve Retson Project (for men who have sex with men)
and the Gender Identity Service. There is a large sexual problems
service.
While mainly based in Sandyford Central, G3 7NB, services are also
delivered in 14 community hubs and satellites across the Health Board
area. All services provide integrated sexual health care, with patients
attending generic services with a range of issues and being seen by
members of a multidisciplinary team who will work within their skills and
competencies to meet the patient’s needs or refer on to appropriate
team members or other professionals.
A comprehensive Genitourinary Medicine service is provided for both
men and women, with specialist clinics for people with complex or
chronic conditions. Men who have sex with men are seen both in
routine integrated services at Sandyford Central and the hubs and in
the specialist Steve Retson Project.
There is an on site laboratory at Sandyford Central, staffed by a
biomedical scientist who provides a rapid slide-reading service for
Sandyford Central and the community clinics. There is excellent local
laboratory support with an emphasis on molecular diagnostics. There
are excellent relations with reference laboratories, public health and
epidemiologists.
Sandyford provides a complete range of contraceptive services
including LARC and vasectomy counselling and operating. Specialist
reproductive and sexual health clinics include menopause clinics,
psychosexual medicine service, gender identity service, medical
gynaecology clinic, colposcopy diagnosis and treatment, pelvic
ultrasound, hysteroscopy and minor operative procedures. Sandyford

termination of pregnancy within the assessment and referral (TOPAR)
service.
The unit has many services which are tailored to meet the needs of
specific groups such as people involved in prostitution, young people,
asylum seekers, lesbians, men who have sex with men, transgender
people, different ethnic groups and people with disabilities. An
equality impact assessment of the service was undertaken in 2015.
Sandyford Counselling and Support Services (SCaSS) provide
comprehensive counselling services for men and women, particularly
for issues which have an impact on sexual health.
Sandyford is committed to a social holistic model of health and has
very close ties with the Board’s health improvement team for sexual
health which is based at Sandyford. Sandyford has a part-time
Community Access Co-ordinator whose role is to ensure the views of
users are taken into account in designing and delivering services and
the strategic direction of the service. He also liaises with different
community groups in an effort to reach non-users.
Sandyford is involved in education with many different groups ranging
from the general public to youth groups and medical undergraduates,
health care professionals, teachers and many others. Special Study
Modules are provided for undergraduate medical students from
Glasgow University and the Directorate has close links with Caledonian
University and the University of the West of Scotland.
There is a comprehensive national sexual health IT system, the NaSH
system, in use across Scotland. All routine consultations are paperless.
The system provides a significant amount of routine reportable
information and facilitates dispersed working, secure messaging, and a
high degree of automation. Test results are imported and interpreted
automatically and made available via an automated telephone
system.
Archway Glasgow is Scotland’s first SARC (sexual assault referral
centre), which aims to improve the care provided for those who have
been raped or sexually assaulted by providing forensic and medical
services, counselling and follow-on support for women, men and
adolescents who have been raped or sexually assaulted in the Greater
Glasgow area. Archway is a partnership between the statutory and
voluntary sector including the NHS, Glasgow City Council, Strathclyde
Police, Crown Office Procurator Fiscal Service and Glasgow Violence
Against Women Partnership and is hosted within Sandyford.

Centre, Gartnavel General Hospital, G12 0YN. Around 1300 patients
attend shared between a team of 8 consultants (currently 4

admitted to the Brownlee Ward under the care of one of the Infectious
Disease physicians. There is excellent multidisciplinary team support
including specialist nursing, liaison psychiatry, specialist pharmacists,
AHPs, liaison psychiatry and counselling. The Brownlee is located on the
same campus as the immunology and virology laboratories.
Consultations are semi-paperless with extensive use of Clinical Portal
and a comprehensive unit database which is used for audit and cost
containment. There are regular HIV and Infectious Disease update
meetings, teaching and training.

Sexual Health Ayrshire
Under a service level agreement with NHSGGC, the post holder will join
the multidisciplinary team providing sexual health services in Ayrshire
and act as a lead for GUM within the integrated sexual health service,
providing clinical care and contributing to service development.
The Sexual Health Department is based in Irvine and provides a
community based integrated sexual health service across Ayrshire. NHS
Ayrshire and Arran serves a total population of approximately 367,000
across 3 local authority areas. Sexual health services are provided
within the strategic direction of the Scottish Government’s Sexual
Health and BBV Action Plan and Local Action Plan.
The Ayrshire and Arran NHS Board has a Sexual Health Programme
Board to oversee delivery of its Sexual Health Strategy. A consultant in
Sexual and Reproductive Health is the Lead Clinician for the Strategy.
Sexual health services are provided by a range of providers across
community and acute services, primary care and community
pharmacy, with close links to the Health Promotion team and school
nursing. The service has several regular training commitments within
and outwith the service for a range of professional groups.
The department is based in a dedicated building known as The
Gatehouse at Ayrshire Central Hospital in Irvine. The building was
purpose built and opened in 2010. It contains clinical and
administrative accommodation. Clinics are increasingly integrated and
staff are expected to have competencies in sexual health and
contraception. Community clinics are held in NHS accommodation in
Ardrossan, Kilbirnie, Kilmarnock, Cumnock , Ayr and Girvan.
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinics take an integrated
approach, providing contraception, cervical screening, pregnancy
tests and advice as well as sexual health screening (including blood
tests for HIV and syphilis) and treatment for chlamydia and
gonorrhoea. These clinics provide insertion and removal of implants.
IUDs are fitted at most daytime SRH clinics, and in evening clinics as
emergency contraception.
The majority of nursing staff are non-medical prescribers and have
health advising competencies, seeing patients independently.Some
clinics are specialist appointment clinics for more complex
reproductive health and genitourinary medicine needs.
Clinics undertake counselling of women requesting sterilisation as part
of a pathway designed to ensure women are offered a full range of
contraception and consistent counselling. There is an outpatient
vasectomy service.
The department, in common with all specialist sexual health services in
Scotland, uses the Scottish national IT system for sexual health (NaSH)
for electronic patient records and administration, and telephonetics
for patient results.
Both NHSGGC and NHSAA sexual health services are part of the West
of Scotland Managed Care Network for sexual health, with many
shared protocols and a collaborative approach to clinical care, audit
and
research.
