Case Scenario:
London has the highest cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV in the country and faces significant sexual health challenges:
- Around half of all people living with HIV live in London.
- sex with men (MSM) make up 2% of London’s adult population yet 24% of newly diagnosed STIs
- 1 in 8 MSM in London have HIV, with 20% undiagnosed
- we have seen increases in 2014 of 40% in syphilis diagnoses and 23% in gonorrhea diagnoses
- There were new 44,810 diagnoses of chlamydia in London in 2014.
- London has the highest STI rate in England, 65% higher than any other region
- under-25-year-old experience particularly high STI rates – 37% of new infections in Londoners were in those aged between 15 and 24 years
The high rise in demand for sexual health services takes up a significant rise in percentage of public health budgets. It is projected that, without action, almost 100 per cent (or more) of those budgets in London will be spent on sexual health in under five years. This has underpinned the need for action and fostered the collaborative responses between London councils described here.
The sexual health services landscape is complex, and Local authorities are responsible for commissioning comprehensive and integrated sexual health services, including contraception, STI testing and treatment and specialist services (including HIV prevention). There are wide range of service provider, including NHS acute and community providers, GPs, pharmacies and the voluntary, community and independent sector.
Evidence checklist: Part 1 – Essay dealing with different approaches and strategies used to control disease. (Task 1) - around 700-1000 words Part 2 - Report on implications of illness and disease in communities for health-related provisions. (Task 2) - around 500-700 words Part 3 - Video presentation: (Task 3) - 500-700 words |
Part 1 - Essay on different approaches and strategies used to measure and control the incidence of disease in communities (Task 1 AC 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and MI, M2) In order to develop your work for Task 1, please refer to a case study and explain the roles of different agencies in identifying levels of health and disease in communities (1.1). You also need to explain, using statistical data, the epidemiology of one infectious and one non-infectious disease, then you need to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches and strategies to control the incidence of disease in communities (1.3). Use appropriate examples from your own experience. |
Part 2 - Report on implications of illness and disease in communities for the provision of health and social care services - (Task 2 AC 2.1,2.2, 2.3, and D1) In your reportuse relevant research to determine current priorities and approaches to the provision of services for people with disease or illness (2.1) Explain the relationship between the prevalence of disease and requirements of services to support individuals within the health and social care service provision (2.2). Next, analyse the impact of current lifestyle choices on future needs for health and social care services (2.3). Use appropriate examples from your own experience. |
Part 3 - Video or Audio presentation:Group work (groups of students) - discussion workshop and a Written Individual Summary of your discussion- 500-700 words - (Task 3 AC 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 M3 and D2, D3). In the third part of your report, assess the health and wellbeing priorities for individuals in a particular health or social care setting (3.1), then evaluate the effectiveness of strategies, systems and policies in a health or social care setting (3.2) Discuss changes that could be made to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals in a health or social care setting (3.3). Finally, evaluate an activity that has been implemented to encourage behaviour change for maximising health for individuals in a health or social care setting. |
