We offer Chlamydia screening and we recommend getting tested for this if you are sexually active.

 

  • Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection
  • People who are 24 and under and sexually active are more likely to get Chlamydia
  • 1 in 10 people 24 and under who are tested , have Chlamydia
  • It effects both men and women
  •  

    If you wanted to get tested you can either make an appointment with one of our nurse or healthcare assistants or simply pick up a testing kit from reception.

    • job seeking advice and support
    • training advice and information.
    • information on workstep which provides supported job opportunities for disabled people facing more complex  employment barriers.
    • information on the Job Introduction Scheme which pays a grant to your employer for the first few weeks of a job.
    • details of the New Deal for Disabled people for people on  health related benefits who want to find work.

    How can I find out more or make an appointment with a Disability Employment Adviser?
