NHS South Central
We are pleased to be facilitating the NHS South Central Sexual Health Tariff Road Test.
Sexual health tariffs have been developed in London that cover all aspects of sexual and reproductive health. The Tariff represents a more transparent, outcome-focussed payment mechanism than current funding arrangements. It is anticipated that tariffs will drive the modernisation and integration of sexual health services and deliver efficiencies in service provision.
The aims of the road test are
- To raise awareness about the sexual health tariffs
- To assess the pathways, currencies and tariff dataset
- To test the ease of data collection and processing
- To understand the financial impact of introducing the tariffs
This project is being supported by South Central SHA. For further local information please contact Alison Frater, Consultant in Public Health - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
There will be a half day workshop for South Central stakeholders involved in testing the integrated sexual health tariffs. This event will provide an opportunity to reflect on the work to date, highlight any emerging issues and ensure that next steps are focussed and practical.
Early findings offer the opportunity to take a case study approach to assessing the value of the tariff, the implications for future commissioning and the potential for matching activity with local area based needs assessment. We can explore many of the insights as well as the issues, anxieties and concerns that have arisen during the course of the work.
You are encouraged to invite all relevant colleagues to join the session. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to reseserve a place.
South Central launched a road test of sexual health tariffs on 30 January '12 with a Stakeholder event in Newbury. To make a sucess of the road test providers need to return some activity data for analysis. To support you making an effective return of the complete tariff data set there will be a half day workshop on 9 March. This workshop is for information and data managers from provider organisations.
The workshop will focus on
- The local tariff specific codes that need to be introduced to collect the complete tariff dataset
- Preparing your data for uploading to the grouper
- Uploading and submitting your data
In addition to prospective data collections and submission, it will also enable you to prepare and submit one months retrospective data by the 16 March deadline.
