A new contract for sexual health and abortion care has been awarded across Sussex.

Following a robust procurement process, MSI Reproductive Choices has been awarded the contract for abortion care services across Brighton and Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex.

From the 1 July 2021, MSI Reproductive Choices will take over sexual health and abortion care across Sussex.

The new contract is designed to improve the quality of services provided to patients, to increase accessibility, and to make access more equitable for people living in all parts of Sussex.
MSI Reproductive Choices, will be opening three new clinics in Crawley, Hastings and Bognor Regis, as well as a new medical and surgical clinic in the heart of Brighton.

The four clinics commissioned by the three Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) in Sussex, will offer face to face appointments, while MSI's award-winning telemedicine service will enable eligible patients to receive consultations over the phone or video call and be supported to have care at home.

MSI's 24/7 helpline One Call (0345 300 8090) provides advice and consultations, with same day appointments available. An online chat service allows patients to consult quickly, confidentially and safely without the need to ring.

Unlimited counselling with independent counsellors registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy is also available.

People will also be able to access a full range of contraception methods through the services, as well as STI screening for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HIV.

GP practices will be able to refer to the new service and patients will also be able to self-refer.
