    • Current approaches rely heavily on a medical model, neglecting broader health promotion strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the challenges in prioritizing sexual health within primary care.
    • To identify the capacity issues faced by genito-urinary medicine clinics.
    • To advocate for a multidisciplinary approach to sexual health promotion.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of current primary care trust priorities regarding sexual health.
    • Assessment of capacity and waiting times within genito-urinary medicine services.

  • Review of existing health promotion models in sexual health.

    • Main Results:

    • Sexual health is frequently not a priority for primary care trusts.
    • Genito-urinary medicine clinics are overstretched and cannot adequately address waiting times.
    • A solely medical model is insufficient for effective sexual health outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • A shift in prioritization is needed within primary care trusts to address sexual health adequately.
    • Increased capacity and resources are required for genito-urinary medicine services.
    • Integrated collaboration between health promotion workers, youth organizations, and voluntary sector bodies is essential for a comprehensive sexual health strategy.
