What is the partner notification tool?

When people are diagnosed with an STI, they need to notify their previous sexual partners.

STX's PN tool allows them to do it anonymously and easily. It notifies the partner that they are at risk via email or SMS, then helps them find the nearest testing clinic.

The tool is reducing the spread of STIs by helping potential carriers to get tested, while enabling healthcare providers to track the number of partners tested.

  • Partner notifications at & away from a clinic

    Notify partners during a consultation, or send guidance to the patient on how to notify a partner in their own time away from the clinic.

  • Patients can remain anonymous

    Patients frequently feel too embarrassed to notify their partners - but SXT lets them stay anonymous, helping clinics to reach more partners.

  • Easy to use

    Simple and intuitive, the PN tool's step-by-step process is easy for patients, partners and clinics.

  • Save time and eliminate manual work

    The PN tool automates the process, saving you hours that would otherwise be spent notifying partners or following up with patients.

  • Cross-clinic notification rate tracking

    Your index patients' partners may have been seen by other clinics - we keep track of this with updates from our centralised system.

  • Accessible Statistics and KPI Data

    Easily access statistics on the number of partners notified and treated. Have your BASHH KPIs readily available for reporting.
