Sheffield is in the process of launching a pharmacy based chlamydia screening service. There is so much interest in this service that the first training evening held earlier this month is being followed by a second event on the 30th September.

Not all pharmacies participating in the service have toilet facilities for the public. Before the public are allowed access to staff toilet facilities a risk assessment must be carried out to ensure security, safety and confidentiality.
