Article Abstract:

Kate Dunkley, senior nurse practitioner and her team of nurses through Manchester Action on Street Health (MASH) service are trying to reach street-based female sex workers by offering them advice on sexual health and condom use, screening, smears and contraception. Kate is of the view that working within the voluntary sector enables her to develop clinic responsively, rather than expecting patients to come to her.
