"My friend was turned away"

About: City Health Care Partnership CIC / GPSI sexual health and women's service City Health Care Partnership CIC / Sexual health

(as a friend),

My friend, with the support of her friendship group, rang the hull clinic looking for advice and support as she is pregnant. However she doesn’t know how far along she is and seriously needs support.

After ringing your clinic the total opposite was offered. A simple no as she’s ‘too far along’ baring in mind she has no idea how long and only requested a scan. She’s 19 and clearly needs support as this is a massive decision in her life. She was simply turned away and told to ring somewhere else.

I can understand if you do not offer a service but they gave her no support or any other organisation she could get it contact with. Baring in mind this situation is already stressful enough as it is. I sincerely do not believe she was offered the services or support that is claimed to be offered by your practice, and I would like to know why.

Dear Millie2001,

Thank you so much for sharing your friend's story; we are very concerned about this and would like to try and sort things out as soon as possible.

Please can you ask your friend to get in touch with our Customer Care team as soon as possible? They will be able to put her in touch with the service manager at Conifer and offer appropriate support; we also need to find out what's happened and why she didn't get the support she needed when she contacted the service.

She can either call 01482 347627 or email chcp.customercare@nhs.net.

Thank you,

City Health Care Partnership CIC
