Introduction Sexual health is an important public health priority. Good sexual and reproductive health is an essential component of positive health and wellbeing. The World Health Organisation’s working definition of sexual health is; “…a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.1” The consequences of poor sexual health, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies can have a lasting impact on people’s lives. STIs are communicable diseases and as such require effective clinical services and public health interventions to prevent onward transmission. The most recent figures2 suggest that new diagnoses of STIs in England might be beginning to slow. There was an overall 0.3% decrease in new

  • Teenage Pregnancy National Support Team
    Teenage Pregnancy National Support Team: Evaluation of impact Introduction to Public Health National Support Teams National Support Teams (NSTs) were established by the Department of Health from 2006 to support local areas – including Local Authorities, Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and their partners – to tackle complex public health issues more effectively, using the best available evidence. By undertaking intensive, ‘diagnostic’ visits to local areas, spending time with key leaders (commissioners and providers) including clinicians and front-line staff, the ten NSTs provided intelligence, support and challenge to local areas to assist in their achieving better public health outcomes. The programme finished in March 2011. The ten subject specific teams (Sexual Health, Health Inequalities, Teenage Pregnancy, Tobacco Control, Childhood Obesity, Alcohol Harm Reduction, Infant Mortality, Response to Sexual Violence, Vaccination and Immunisation and Children and Young People’s Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health) were commissioned and established with a focus on improving health and reducing health inequalities. The ten teams undertook more than 450 visits to local partnerships during the course of the programme and their findings and successes have been documented in a range of Knowledge Management and Evaluation reports. The NST process involved a desk review of key documentation and data-based intelligence, and interviews with key informants, often in combination with a series of workshops or focus groups. Collation and analysis of findings was immediate, and the findings, including strengths and recommendations, were fed back straight away and on site to the key local players and leadership. Recommendations were accompanied by offers of support, either at the time of reporting, or as part of follow-up activity.

  • Health Inequality
    Mind the gap: Reducing the gap in life expectancy The Report of the Director of Public Health for Enfield: 2014 www.enfield.gov.uk/publichealth The Report of the Director of Public Health for Enfield: 2014 Welcome I would like to welcome you to the Annual Public Health Report for 2014. This report focuses on the gap in life expectancy in Enfield, and what can be done to educer this gap and support people to live longer, healthier lives. Overall in Enfield, life expectancy is higher than the London average. However, there are large health inequalities, which ultimately lead to people in more deprived areas living shorter lives and being more affected by illness than those in the affluent parts of the borough. A woman living in Upper Edmonton has a life expectancy of 78.5 years, around 8 and a half years less than a woman in Grange ward. Similar differences can be seen in male life expectancy. I am very pleased to see that life expectancy figures have been improving, particularly improved in the more deprived wards such as Edmonton Green. There have also been improvements in some of the causes of ill health and mortality, including deaths from cardiovascular disease, increased numbers with controlled blood pressure and in the number of people who have given up smoking. The Annual Public Health Report highlights the importance of evidence led interventions that can have an impact on improving health outcomes and life expectancy. The report includes examples of work across the borough which is contributing to a reduction in the gap in life expectancy.
