Temporary move for sexual health clinic in Lincoln
Posted on: 16th May 2022
One of Lincolnshire’s sexual health clinics, Lincolnshire Sexual Health (LiSH), is to temporarily relocate to support the expansion of other local health services in Lincoln.
The sexual health clinic that was run from 63 Monks Road will be transferring on Wednesday, 18 May, 2022 to the 4th floor of Queensgate House, 12 Silver Street – less than half a mile down the road.
The shuffle has allowed the clinical team from Abbey Medical Practice to make 63 Monks Road their temporary new home, while their existing premises undergo work to expand their site to nearly double in size after planning permission was granted for a two-storey extension to be built.
The Lincolnshire Sexual Health Service (LiSH) team will continue to offer the same wide range of non-judgemental and expert advice on everything from safer sex and contraception to advice and treatment on sexually transmitted infections and cervical screening.
Cheryl Kern, Matron of Specialist Services for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, said: “We are delighted to be able to work with and support our health partners while they undertake their exciting building project to ensure there is minimal disruption to the wider services available in our local community.”
“Our temporary move will not impact on the quality or range of sexual health services available to those who need them.”
“We look forward to continuing to support people from our temporary new home at Queensgate House on Silver Street.”
Abbey Medical Practice is part of the IMP Primary Care Network (PCN), a network of nine GP surgeries covering the north of Lincoln.
Dr Rama Srinivasan, one of the Clinical Directors for IMP PCN said: “As a primary care network, one of our aims is to bring some services currently delivered in our hospitals back into primary care and expanding our GP surgeries will enable us to do this.”
