Sexual and Reproductive Health Partnership Strategy 2025-30

The Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy outlines the actions to be taken by the local authority, NHS, and community and voluntary sector that will improve the sexual and reproductive health of the people of Richmond Upon Thames over the next five years.

Sexual and reproductive health is an important public health issue with health, social and economic impacts that can affect the population across the life course. Equitable access to sexual and reproductive health services is essential to improve the health and well-being of individuals and populations.

Informed by the global, national, regional and local context, this ambitious strategy adopts the World Health Organisation framework for operationalising action to promote sexual and reproductive health. In doing so, it takes a life course approach and identifies local action for each of the eight intervention areas:

• Antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care
• Comprehensive education and information
• Contraception counselling and provision
• Gender-based violence prevention, support and care
• Fertility and reproductive care
• Prevention and control of HIV and other STIs
• Safe abortion care
• Sexual function and psychosexual counselling
