On Wed 20 Jul, our sexual health services at 56 Dean Street and Dean Street Express were visited by members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on HIV and AIDS—Steve Brine MP, Baroness Barker and Lloyd Russell Moyle MP.
During their visit, they toured our state-of-the-art facilities and learned how patients can conveniently and efficiently access our sexual health testing services. Our Trust is at the forefront of the mpox outbreak response, treating a significant proportion of the UK’s cases and vaccinating high-risk groups.

This visit provided an opportunity to inform the government about the work we are doing, the unique pressures our sexual health services face, and how they can be better supported to continue improving.
