Implementing a Chlamydia pilot screening programme.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common, curable bacterial sexually transmitted infection in England and Wales. It can have devastating effects in women. Two opportunistic screening programmes for sexually active men and women under 25 years were initiated on the Wirral and in Portsmouth. The results have formed the basis for the setting up of a national screening programme over 10 sites in England.
