The Central Health Clinic is a community health clinic which houses the pain clinic, Unity Sexual Health and The Bridge sexual assault referral centre.

The pain clinic is a multidisciplinary team that works with people experiencing chronic pain. They use treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), acupuncture, psychology and a pain management programme.

Unity Sexual Health is the free and confidential sexual health service for the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire region, providing STI testing and treatment, contraception and pregnancy advice.

The Bridge offers medical care, emotional and psychological support, as well as practical help to anyone who has been raped or sexually assaulted.

These special gestures and added details just wouldn’t be possible without the amazing and admirable work from Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity. They are small things that go a long way to making a difference for patient care, comfort and experience.

Said Harry Wide, crisis worker and male service development officer at The Bridge

We want to continue to ensure that The Bridge is a safe, welcoming and accessible service for all individuals in the communities we serve.
