title: Provision of Chlamydia trachomatis screening in family planning clinics and emergency contraception in genitourinary medicine clinics: a collaborative cross-speciality survey.
abstract: Two surveys were undertaken to review (1) provision of Chlamydia trachomatis screening by family planning (FP) clinics in the London region and (2) access to emergency contraception (EC) from genitourinary#10; medicine (GUM) clinics within the former North Thames region. The findings from the first survey suggest that there is insufficient screening (and treatment) in vulnerable groups attending FP clinics. Results#10; from the second survey show that hormonal EC is widely available from within GUM clinics, and those clinics also provide a range of other contraception services. However, these details may not be widely#10; recognised either by policymakers or the general public. #10;
