Brook Place addictions service, has a lot to celebrate as it’s the only service in England not only to micro-eliminate Hep C amongst service users, and retain elimination for eight months, but more significantly to have tested virtually all of the people who access the service, not just those people who have a history of injecting. It’s a truly remarkable feat!!!

A day of celebration was held and as part of the celebrations, as well as the usual huge number of scheduled and unscheduled service users being looked after:

  • The clinical van was used to review 18 service users (and four external visitors) - 4 of who were referred for further investigations
  • The Axess visiting team carried out 5 full service user assessments
  • The Respiratory Team carried out 25 full assessments, including spirometry testing for 20 people.
