Leeds Sexual Health Service Launches New Digital Hub
A new digital hub for sexual health services in Leeds has launched this month, offering people a choice in how to access support with their sexual and reproductive health.
Designed to expand the online offer and direct people quickly and easily to the right service the new, interactive website: www.leedssexualhealth.com includes online booking, live web chats with a healthcare professional and online prescription ordering.
You can find out about emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, STI testing and treatment, HIV testing, PEP and PrEP (HIV prevention and treatment) as well as find information specifically for young people.
Amanda Hammond, Operation Head of Leeds Sexual Health Service, said:
“The new Digital Hub is an important step forward in making sexual healthcare responsive to the needs of the community. Our online services make it easier than ever to access the right support when and where it’s needed.”
Commissioned by Leeds City Council, the Digital Hub is provided a partnership which includes, Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Leeds GP Confederation and Forum Central (the collective voice for the health and care third sector in Leeds), which began in July 2024 to deliver sexual health services across Leeds both online and in person.
Councillor Fiona Venner, Executive Member for Equality, Health and Wellbeing, commented:
“The new digital hub offers the choice to self-manage sexual health, without always needing to attend a clinic in person. It is exciting to see the service using innovative methods to increase access”.
The Leeds Sexual Health Service is based at Beeston Hill Health Centre, with additional access points at Armley Moor Health Centre, Chapeltown Health Centre, Seacroft Clinic and Gateway West in Leeds City Centre. Face to face appointments are also available at these sites.
As well as using the new digital hub you can contact the service by phone Monday to Friday from 8:30am until 4:30pm on 0113 843 4495.
