Integrating the NCSP within local sexual health economies:
Our vision is that all sexually active young people should be offered chlamydia testing as a routine part of every primary care and sexual health consultation. This guidance is for commissioners and public health professionals, and examines how NCSP testing can be mainstreamed into existing community services.
Contract specifications
The NCSP has produced guidance for the development of specifications for the commissioning of chlamydia screening in General Practice and Community Pharmacy. This is designed to support both commissioners and service providers in achieving high quality chlamydia screening services for the populations they serve.
A further document providing more information relating to specification in community pharmacy is also available as a separate annexe.

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.
