Three ways we provide service
- Drop in one-off medical and sexual health services. The sexual health services include; STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, IUS and Nexplanon insertions, emergency contraception and dispensing contraceptives. Medical drop-ins can be for any medical need. These clients who do not receive longitudinal care can be from outside of our catchment area.
- We also share care with GPs in the community. Our clinic will provide care for a specific medical need and then return the client (with a treatment plan) to the care of their GP once they are stabilized. Many clients we see for shared care have complex mental health or are coming for gender-affirming care services.
- The third way we see clients is to be their Most Responsible Provider (MRP). For these clients, we are their “GP” and they will come to our clinic for all of their medical care. They will be d/c’ed when they age out or move out of the catchment.
