SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICE HAS NEW EXAMINATION COUCH

A ‘tatty’ couch in the Sexual Health Service’s clinic has been replaced by the Friends, at a cost of £3,200. The new couch, which comes with a matching stool, in-corporates sculptured upholstery and a seat extension. The multi adjustable padded leg supports provide patient com-fort in the lithotomy position. “This couch will enhance patient comfort and improve their experience when undergoing examinations and proce-dures,” said Simon Bull. Adding her appreciation, Senior Staff Nurse Cate Crutch-er reported that the couch gets very heavy use.
