What support we offer

At Basis we understand that communicating with health professionals can be a challenge. We can therefore help to ensure that you see the right healthcare professional for your issue and help with negotiating appointments when necessary.

All our workers at Basis can make referrals and support you with accessing or registering with free healthcare services, including: Sexual Health, GP, Cervical screening, Accident and Emergency services, Dentists, Blood-borne viruses including Hep C  and Opticians. We can also help support you with managing long-term health conditions, including support with appointments.

Basis can also support with drug and/or alcohol issues – we can provide harm reduction information and advice, as well as referring to drug and alcohol treatment services where necessary, working closely with Forward Leeds and York Street. We can act as an advocate at appointments and can help support you to remain engaged in treatment.

We also offer emotional support and mental health & wellbeing services.
