Brook Liverpool is operated by Brook Young People. This is a charitable organisation that works with younger people under the age of 25 providing confidential sexual health services, support and advice. Brook Young People has had a presence in Liverpool since 1974.
Brook Liverpool is a level 2 contraception and sexual health service (CASH) and provides contraception, emergency contraception, condom distribution, screening for sexually transmitted infections (STI), pregnancy testing, referral for termination of pregnancy and counselling. A genito-urinary medicine clinic delivered by a local acute provider held clinics twice weekly within Brook Liverpool where patients who required level 3 services could attend.
Education and outreach services are also provided by Brook Liverpool and delivered in schools, colleges, higher educational establishments and hostels across the city. The service includes delivery of education programmes on topics such as contraception, sexuality and relationships, often delivered with partner agencies, as well as targeted work and individual consultations for advice and STI screening.
