Health bosses say the clinic in Sunderland will 'make a huge difference to women's lives'.
A health hub to help women access care including gynaecology, sexual health and menopause issues in one place has officially opened.GP and clinical lead Ruth Thompson said: "Women's healthcare hasn't been so joined up and hasn't been so easy to access, so we want to make it as easy as possible."Dr Ruth Thompson said the hub is a "one-stop shop" for women
As Sunderland is an area of high deprivation, Dr Thompson said women faced barriers to accessing services. "Hopefully this is a friendly, central, easy access place where women can come for a variety of things instead of having to go all over the place," she said.Patient Alexis Daurat, who lives in Ryhope, Sunderland, said that in the months she had been using the hub before it officially launched, she felt her care had been personalised.
"It's not just 'walking into a GP practice', 'sit down', 'there's your prescription for HRT', they have an understanding of who I am," she said.North East and North Cumbria Integrated Health Board said the one in Gateshead will be in multiple buildings but offering a more holistic approach.Follow BBC Sunderland on
