Shortage of Chlamydia Testing Kits

We are aware that in Cheshire West, practices including ours continue to face challenges in obtaining new supplies of Chlamydia testing kits (male and female). This issue has been identified as a laboratory supply disruption within Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUFT) and has been formally escalated due to the associated clinical risk.

In the interim, patients who require a testing kit should contact the local sexual health service provider (HCRG), where they can request a free postal kit via their website: digital.thesexualhealthhub.co.uk
