Chelsea and Westminster’s Female Genital Mutilation service won the Brook Adult Sexual Health Service of the Year award at the 2013 UK Sexual Health Awards.

The entry was submitted on behalf of the West London Centre for Sexual Health in partnership with the West London African Women’s Service.

56 Dean Street, our sexual health clinic in Soho, also had two services shortlisted in the same category—Dean Street at Home, the HIV home testing service, and CliniQ, the sexual health clinic for people from the Trans community.

West London African Women’s Service has since been shortlisted for a 2013 Care integration Award in the ‘Women’s Health’ category. Winners will be announced in July.
