Verbatim
“GP with specialist interest in women's health at Hylton Medical Group”
“The hub allows us to provide more personalised and accessible care, helping women get the right support without long waits or multiple appointments in different places. This funding will help us expand what works best and support even more women to get the care they need to stay healthy and well.”
“We want things to be as streamlined as possible. So if someone comes for contraception and they are due to have their smear, we can do that at the same time.”
