The Manx Integrated Sexual Health Centre will open at a new location in Douglas later next week.
From the afternoon this afternoon the clinic will be closed whilst the team moves to the new location.
It will reopen to the public in the new location on Tuesday, November 12.
New Sexual Health Centre
The new clinic will incorporate a fully integrated sexual health service, providing a ‘one stop shop’ for a full range of contraception options, testing, management and treatment of all sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV.
Manx Care hopes this avoids the need for the patient to attend numerous appointments held over different locations as was the case previously.
Amanda Dawson, Lead Nurse for Integrated Sexual Health Services, said: “We are really excited about this move, which we believe will have an extremely positive impact on the care and support we can provide to our patients.
“The new, larger space offers more clinical rooms to address the demands of our ever-growing service. It is a modern space that is much more suitable for our service needs, and its location is more accessible for our patients”.
