Urinary Problems

The Sexual Health Strategy ( Department of Health, 2001 ) has encouraged the use of nurse prescribers in the provision of contraceptive and sexual health services, ranging from simple hormonal contraception to enhanced genito-urinary problems such as the treatment of serious sexually transmitted infections and HIV. To fulfil their role effectively, nurse prescribers in sexual health must be aware of the law relating to this sensitive area. In the first of a series of articles, Richard Griffith outlines the provisions of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 that modernizes the law in relation to sexual crimes. This first article covers sexual health and the law, and provides nurse prescribers with a guide to the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Sexually Transmissible Infections

Australia still does not have a national sexual health strategy. Sexually transmissible infections such as chlamydia continue to plague the community, and the incidence of HIV is increasing. But a cohesive sexual health strategy cannot merely be disease-focussed, it must include the broader social and cultural aspects of sexual behaviour and sexuality. We propose a public health framework for the development of a national sexual health strategy that will bring Australia in line with the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Positive Correlations

Health advisors (HAs) are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team within genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics, with a pivotal role in the National Sexual Health Strategy by enhancing liaison between community sexual health provision and GU medicine services. Greater clarity is needed about HAs' current activities and workload in order to enable benchmarking and ensure accurate workforce planning. We describe a tool for assessing HA workload and activity and evaluating its use in real clinic environments through a prospective time and motion model. Ten centres (63% of those invited to participate) within a single region did so. Median HA working times were calculated at almost 15 min/patient consultation and approximately 10 min/telephone call. Although there were strong positive correlations between HA availability and some markers of clinical activity, these were weaker than similar correlations applied to medical staff, raising the possibility of suboptimal HA workforce planning.
