2. Plans to disseminate and implement national guidance (Guidance for health professionals on contraception for under 16s available from autumn 2000). After initial local guidelines are developed and a training programme for health professionals on contraception for the under 16s is delivered, we will maintain DoH guidance and work with professionals from partner agencies to ensure a concerted and consistent approach. 3. Planning and use of mainstream funding to ensure services are provided for young people using a variety of models and approaches which are appropriate to the local context and the needs and preferences of young people Plans will be drawn up to assess the community clinics already in operation and to test which of them could be most usefully changed into young people specific clinics. A variety of models will be used to ensure services are provided for young people. Assessments will be made of each proposal, young people will be consulted and their views will be taken into account when services are planned. Issues, which will be considered, include: • Confidentiality – the local implementation co-ordinator will ensure that the confidentiality tool kit developed by the Royal College of General Practitioners and Brook is being used and adhered to by General Practices, Primary Care Groups and Trusts. • Continued training for GPs, nurses and receptionists to ensure that services available to young people meet their needs and preferences. • Availability of condoms through distribution network schemes and machines. Condom or c-cards will be available for use by young people as well as older adults. In each of the pick up points the front of house staff will be trained particularly to deal with issues of confidentiality and other issues specifically relevant to young people. • The issue of condom distribution in schools will be investigated and any action taken will be with the full agreement of schools, governors, parents, young people, the local education authority, school nurses, NHS Trusts, PCGs and General Practices. • In County Durham a pilot scheme is testing a credit card sized information card. It will be given out by pharmacists to adults and young people who request pregnancy testing kit. The card will list telephone numbers of a range of local services. After evaluation, this will be replicated in Darlington. 71
• In County Durham the links between health services and pregnant school girl/ young mums groups will continue. This enables further links between the young people and mainstream services leading to a reduction in the risk of their becoming socially excluded. • A young persons centre is being established from mainstream funding at a YMCA base and contraception services will be available in a youth friendly centre. • The mobile bus will continue to provide contraceptive advice and condom distribution. • Voluntary Organisations such as End House will continue the provision of contraceptive advice and provision. • Further use of the Sex Education Roadshow to give more opportunities for young people and professionals to experience etc. • Community Education will be consulted on their possible involvement in the distribution of contraception and advice services. Any action will again be in consultation with health, mainstream education and young people. • The Health Authority will continue to develop and monitor the provision of Emergency Hormonal Contraception through pharmacies. A proposal to provide Levonelle2 free of charge will be monitored and progress will be noted on this in the Annual Report. • There will be more nurse led clinics offering contraceptive services in ten years time as examples of current best practice are built upon. 4. Use of multi-professional teams to deliver a range of service provision, ensuring young people are actively supported to access services for prevention, advice and support. County Durham and Darlington is committed to the use of multi-professional teams. It is envisaged that in ten years time the provision of advice and information will be delivered through a range of professionals and services. The Core Service Provision will be in the form of community clinics with links between the clinics and specialist GPs and mainstream GPs, nurses, midwives, health visitors. Additionally there will be links between all of the service providers and agencies, which can provide information to young people about services, which are available. Links will be made and maintained between the medical services and: Pharmacies, schools, workplaces, sexual health outreach workers, community settings, social services, media, shops/supermarkets, community education and youth offending teams. 72
