A state-of-the-art sexual health clinic opens today (12 April) to help address the sexual health needs of local people.
The clinic at 10 Hammersmith Broadway—which replaces West London Centre for Sexual Health—improves access to sexual health services in the borough, with an experienced team offering complete sexual health and contraception care. It has walk-in availability, using the latest technology to deliver a quicker turnaround of results to help prevent the onward transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
10 Hammersmith Broadway also provides sexual health and contraception treatment and care, including dedicated sessions for under 19s and complex clinics. It also provides HIV treatment and care.
The clinic has strong transport links and a modern, contemporary design. Lead clinician for 10 Hammersmith Broadway Dr Rachael Jones said: “Hammersmith and Fulham has some of the highest rates of sexual ill health in the UK. Poor sexual health and unwanted pregnancies often affect people who have little access to healthcare.
“We hope that our relocation and this fantastic new facility at Hammersmith Broadway will help to make our services more visible and accessible to those who really need our input.”
