Mr James Woolgar
Local Authority Commissioner
Liverpool
As the commissioning lead for Sexual Health for Liverpool, I have a wealth of experience working at a local, regional and now national level. I am responsible for designing and commissioning a wide range of services and for leading a series of programmes and strategic groups to address sexual ill-health. I have developed excellent relationships with providers in order to improve the way we deliver services and achieve better quality outcomes for patients and the wider population.
I am Chair of the Liverpool Sexual Health Strategic Network which is developing a new sexual health strategy for the city, and am leading the work on Liverpool’s HIV and Aids Eradication Plan and led on Liverpool’s recent bid to declare itself a HIV Fast Track City.
I have led on a number of redesign and integration programmes and have recently presented at the English HIV & Sexual Health Commissioners Group (EHSHCG) to highlight a new approach to LARC in Primary Care which was developed to improve the local provision offered through Pharmacies and GPs.
I am committed to developing sexual health services for the people that we serve and now have the privilege of representing the North of England on the English HIV & Sexual Health Commissioners Group (EHSHCG) nationally.
