Launching our Women's Health Hub - joined up care for women in Frome
Over the past two years, local women have told us what matters most in their healthcare. The Women’s Health Hub is our response, offering joined up, accessible support including menopause care, sexual health, contraception, cervical screening, pelvic pain support and more, for women of all ages.
