SEXUAL health services at a city clinic will be moved to a different centre next week.

Worcester's Moor Street clinic, which currently provides sexual health, podiatry and dental care, is due to close and be sold off within the next two years.

Bosses say they are relocating sexual health services to the John Anthony Centre, in Newtown Road, Worcester, on Monday.

This care will eventually move to Worcestershire Royal Hospital next year, along with the other services from Moor Street clinic.

A spokesman for Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust said: "We are actively seeking to move all services out in the near future, although we don’t have timescales for podiatry or the dental services yet.

"From December 3, contraception sexual health clinics currently provided from the Moor Street clinic will be moved to the John Anthony Centre.

"This is due to the unsuitability of Moor Street, which is inaccessible for people using a wheelchair or with a pushchair.

"There will continue to be an under 21’s walk-in clinic on Saturdays from 10am to 12.30pm and vasectomy and early medical termination and pregnancy advice at Moor Street for the time being.

"However, it is expected that these services, along with those provided from the John Anthony Centre, will all move to the Aconbury Unit near to the Worcestershire Royal Hospital site next year, once work is completed there.

"Effectively John Anthony will go back into our estates portfolio when the sexual health services move to Aconbury and we would expect it to be home for some of our other clinical services."

City councillor Joy Squires previously raised concerns that moving the services to the hospital could create travel difficulties for some people, as the site is outside the city centre.

However, the trust said it needs to move to a building that is disability-friendly.

There will not be any sexual health clinics open in Worcester on November 29 and November 30, while services move to the John Anthony Centre.

Alternative clinics are available on these days in Kidderminster and Redditch.
