Catherine King, a health improvement practitioner with the team said: “The health improvement team, in partnership with Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire have been working with local pharmacists, providing them with resources and support so that they can confidently offer sexual health advice.

“Pharmacists can offer a quick and easy service providing advice about a range of sexual health topics, including the provision of EHC and chlamydia testing. Their help is free and confidential so people can be confident they can ask them any questions they have.”

Pharmacies are supported to deliver this campaign by the health improvement team in partnership with Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire and Calderdale Council.
