St Stephens Health Centre hosts successful sexual screening event

Congratulations to St Stephens Health Centre on hosting a hugely successful sexual health screening event on Wednesday 25 September. 

More than 70 patients were seen by a healthcare assistant as patients, 16-64 years old, were invited to book an appointment or walk in for a sexual health screening. 

The event also hosted partners from:

• Better Health who invited eligible patients to sign up for a referral to their weight management programme. 
• QuitRight who encouraged patients who were smokers to sign up to their stop smoking clinic. 
• The genetics team from Queen Mary's Hospital were offering genes testing to our Bangladeshi community.
• Primary Care Network teams promoted social prescribing, the NHS app and the Healthy Start voucher scheme.
• The weekly food bank was also in operation, providing their usual weekly service to the local community. 

It was a hugely successful event to support our local community.
