Digital technologies are changing the way we deliver health care but how can we ensure no one is left behind?
Meet the team: Shaveve Sharpe
Meet the team: Mollie
Mollie Courtenay is our service designer and researcher. She divides her time between SH:24 and Mindwave Ventures (doing some very cool projects in mental health, check them out). She's been with SH:24 since its early days and has seen lots of changes and achievements - let's get to know her a bit better...
Our impact: latest SH:24 news and data
A lot has happened since our last data round-up in October - we celebrated our first birthday in March and we’ve now processed over 10,000 orders. We’re really excited about the potential of the data we’ve gathered. Our research team are hard at work on a randomised control trial that should tell us some more about our users’ behaviour but this is what we’ve been able to learn from the data we’ve looked at so far.
SH:24 goes national!
Happy Birthday to us - an eventful year

SH:24 response to Guardian article: 'Cuts to sexual health services will lead to STI 'explosion', warn experts'
Sexual health made headlines yesterday as shadow public health minister, Andrew Gwynne claimed in The Guardian that the Labour Party’s analysis had found as much as £40 million could be cut from local councils’ sexual health budgets and that this would have a consequent effect on (already increasing) STI rates. This analysis doesn’t take into account the opportunity for online STI testing services to deliver efficiency savings and improve access to STI testing through remote home testing.

Let's talk about EsSEX
Tempted as we were to name our blog after a certain popular reality TV series, we couldn’t resist taking inspiration from Salt-N-Pepa again (as we have done with our Twitter hashtag #letstalkaboutsex). So enough hinting - we’re proud to say SH:24 has been successful in a partnership bid to deliver an integrated sexual health service in Essex.
