Great Cornard teens join sexual health drive
Teenagers have been asked to come up with ideas to improve sexual health services in Suffolk.
Students aged 17-19 at Great Cornard Upper School put forward their ideas on how to tackle the rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and abortions in the county.
South Suffolk Primary Care Trust (PCT) held a TV quiz style show at the school yesterday to gauge youngsters' views on how access and treatment could be improved.
Norman Foster, the integrated sexual health services lead at Suffolk PCT, said: "We are really pleased with the consultation responses to date from young people, who are the main age category for the sexual health services and advice we offer.
"The 'ask the audience'-style question and answer sessions have been working really well."
The PCT aims to provide "one-stop shops" across the area where people will be able to have diagnosis and treatment for most STIs as well as access family planning and contraception advice.
