Description

This project aims to carry out insights work to better understand the sexual and reproductive health needs of people living across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, which includes understanding local people's experiences and aspirations for future strategic commissioning and service delivery. In order to inform a health needs assessment of sexual and reproductive health across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and inform future strategic direction, this must include the needs, experiences and aspirations of the local population including health inequality groups and at risk populations. To understand the views, experiences and aspirations, this work must undertake quantitative and qualitative engagement with local communities and those experiencing a range of inequalities. This needs to take into account those living in more deprived areas, where someone is affected by their ability to access services, protective characteristics, occupation and lived experiences (Figure 1). The outcomes of the engagement and insights work is essentially needed to inform the future strategic direction and commissioning of sexual and reproductive health services across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. For this reason, this work must take into account of diverse populations and communities and their experiences, motivations and aspirations when seeking support from these services, especially around prevention and reducing health inequalities. The methodology undertaken to deliver this insight work will be co-produced with public health and sexual and reproductive health services and communities across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This includes clear consenting and information sharing from participants, the provision of raw quantitative and qualitative data alongside a final report to provide the necessary insights work described in this specification.
