The National Chlamydia Screening Programme facilitates the provision of screening in core sexual health services (community contraceptive services, general practice, abortion services and community pharmacies). This work is supported by outreach that aims to introduce young people to local sexual health services. Much of this outreach takes place in local educational settings and youth and community centres. Access can be further extended by sending letters with a link to a website that offers a screening kit through the post or by sending kits directly to young people aged 15-24.

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is a control and prevention programme targeted at the highest risk group for chlamydia infection in England, young people under 25 who are sexually active.
Chlamydia is often asymptomatic so a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed, but infection can be diagnosed easily (young people can do the test themselves), and treated effectively.
