Inside Health: Sexual health, contraception and tackling waiting lists

23/02/2021

Sexual health, contraception and tackling waiting lists

BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Sexual health, contraception and tackling waiting lists

Contraception and sexual health during the  Covid-19 pandemic. Tackling waiting lists.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought many changes to the NHS. How well have these changes worked in contraception and sexual health?
And tackling waiting lists for joint replacements.

What has the pandemic done to our sex lives? We’ll hear if there’s been a baby boom with Dr Margaret McCartney and Dr Rebecca Thomson-Glover has the lowdown on sexually transmitted infections. We’ll also explore changes to contraception and sexual health services. Meanwhile it feels like we’re on the march to normality, but what about the backlog of patients whose treatment has been cancelled. We speak to Charmayne whose surgery has been held up by the pandemic and Nick Arresti from the British Orthopaedic Association to see how such waiting lists can be tackled.
