About this service
SHARE is a confidential specialist service.
SHARE psychosexual service sits within the Sexual Health Service at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals. The service base is at Acorn Primary Health Care Centre, Accrington.
Problems encountered may be related to:
Physical or medical conditions
Social issues or emotional and relationship circumstances
Often there is a combination of factors contributing to the difficulty experienced.
While an adult service, we can support clients between 16-18 experiencing gender identity issues. This will not include therapy but may include liaising with GPs to facilitate timely referral to appropriate specialist services as well as signposting to other agencies of support if indicated.
Referrals can be accepted directly from GPs, or we can accept indirect GP referrals whereby a GP has referred into a secondary service such as gynaecology or urology then they can refer to us. We can also accept referrals from Sexual Health Services. If another agency wish to refer we would advise that they direct their client to their GP or sexual health services to get a referral to us.
