Abstract
The WOC has become an established and popular service at St Stephen's. Women not previously using medical services are attending. The multidisciplinary nature of the clinic encourages a wider use of medical and paramedical services. Attendance record for HIV positive women has improved significantly. Whether these factors will lead to improved standards of sexual health will require a longer period of audit. Seventy-nine per cent of women indicated they would use a family planning service if available. An integrated family planning clinic was introduced after the audit period.
