Job description

Job responsibilities

The Genitourinary Medicine service comprises the centralised HIV outpatient service based at Brotherton Wing Clinic, Leeds General Infirmary; and the integrated Leeds Sexual Health service whose hub clinic is based at Beeston Hill Health Centre, with other satellite clinic sites around the city. We have active SH/HIV research and teaching programmes.

Leeds Sexual Health (LSH) provides integrated Contraception and Sexual Health services and third-sector provision as part of a consortium between LTH, Leeds Community Healthcare Trust, the Leeds GP confederation and Forum Central (voluntary sector).

LSH provides sexual health, contraception and HIV prevention including complex HIV Prep with daily mixed clinics comprising same-day and booked appointments with self referral and triage for emergency cases, plus online and postal/e-prescription services. There is 6-day opening at the Beeston hub including evening access Monday and Thursday (no Saturday clinic expectation for resident Drs), plus further spoke sites operational around the city.

There are, in addition, over 6000 HIV appointments per year. Leeds Local Authority is the highest prevalence area in Yorkshire & Humber having exceeded HIV population prevalence over 2/1000 since 2012, and as such the department has built up a reputation as a centre of expertise for HIV/AIDS. Leeds committed to Fast Track City status in 2023, working towards the HIV zero goals of 2030 and restarting NHSE ED opt-out BBV testing in 2024. LTH is the West Yorkshire HIV network regional centre with a local HIV cohort of ~2500 including spoke clinic sites in Dewsbury and Wakefield. Most of these patients are outpatients but there is a significant in-patient workload which is managed on Ward J20 at St Jamess Hospital, led by the ID consultant team, with registrar and junior support from a combination of ID & GUM teams. We work very closely with HIV support services like BHASkyline & Yorkshire Mesmac, with engagement worker & peer mentors supporting retention in care
