COMMISSIONERS
SHIP is a great implementation partner for commissioners. We are a peer-led and not-for-profit organisation.
Highly experienced in working closely with commissioners, GPs and their teams, we develop and implement fresh approaches to quality improvement in sexual health care. We will work closely with you to develop meaningful evaluation measures.
What commissioners have said about SHIP training...
Robbie Currie
Sexual Health Programme Lead for
the London Borough of Bexley
I commissioned SHIP to be delivered in our local GP practices to improve the overall sexual health offer to our residents. After investigating several training routes, we elected SHIP as it’s peer-led model in the GP setting offered us the most comprehensive, practical and rapid up-skilling of our practitioners. The training was very well received by our Practices and we’ve already observed a diversion away from the acute into the community setting; not only improving individual health outcomes by providing services closer to home, but in a more cost-effective way as part of our Enhanced Sexual Health Service. SHIP has been integral to our strategic plans for sexual health services in my Local Authority. I cannot recommend them highly enough.'
Assistant Director of Public Health, Haringey
"SHIP has been an essential component of our local sexual health strategy to improve sexual health outcomes for Haringey residents. The training programme has been well received by GPs and practice nurses and they have put their learning into practice. We have seen an increase in HIV testing in general practice and this has contributed to the improvement we have seen in our HIV late diagnosis. SHIP is an essential course that equips GPs and practice nurses with the knowledge and tools to improve the sexual health of their practice population.'
Susan Otiti
GPs trained from 11 practices in high prevalence areas. 'Our six month evaluation demonstrated that the majority of practices trained have increased their level of Hep B and C and HIV testing and 7 positive results have been confirmed'
