John Hunter Clinic · Chelsea and Westminster

Care that works in real life.

As a Healthcare Assistant, Jessica contributes to work spanning contraception, sexual health, PrEP and care for people living with HIV. At BHIVA BASHH 2026, she joined John Hunter Clinic colleagues to share their work and explore practical improvements through clinical care, digital pathways and more personalised support.

Her team’s use of virtual reality during intrauterine device procedures has also been recognised by the National Centre for Creative Health as an outstanding example of digital innovation in creative health, and referenced by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Creative Health.

Beyond the clinic, Jessica ran the Red Run with colleagues to raise funds and awareness for HIV.
