Availability of essential sexual health services set to increase for young people (aged 19 and under) in Knowsley with opening of a new axess 4 u clinic at St. Chad’s Health Centre, Kirkby next month.
The clinic, provided by axess sexual health as part of our axess 4 u service, will be opening on 5 February 2025. It will operate as a walk-in and will run every Wednesday between 3.30pm-6pm.
This new clinic will run alongside the existing axess general clinic and specialist long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) clinic in Knowsley, based at The Arch and St. Chad’s Health Centre, respectively.
Carolyn Hurrell, Service Coordinator for axess sexual health in Knowsley, said:
“Axess Knowsley has responded to the needs of our local population. We are adaptable in our approach and aware of the unique demands that different cohorts need from our service.
We understand that young people lead busy lives and it’s important that we arrange our clinics to meet their needs.
We are excited to increase availability of our axess 4 u service by opening an additional clinic at St. Chad’s Health Centre, Kirkby. We aim to ensure every young person in Knowsley always has a place to go to take care of their sexual health, and we look forward to welcoming them to our service.”
